No problem. But if it was not clear, this is something that works
already in psycopg2 too: it could be useful if you want to port code
later.

You would do like in psycopg2. There isn't a single json type in
python (it could be a list, dict, number, None...) so there is a
"Json" wrapper to tell psycopg to pass e.g. a json number rather than
a number-number:
https://www.psycopg.org/docs/extras.html?highlight=json#json-adaptation

What you would do, both in psycopg2 and 3, would be something like:

cursor.execute("update mytable set jsfield=%s where id = any(%s)",
(Json(data), idList))

Code like this should work in both versions.
