​Getting a unique document from multiple rows coming from postgresql is not
that easy... The external tools considers each postgresql JSON fields as
strings or have to parse it again. Parsing them would add an overhead on
the external tool, and I d'say this would be better to build the entire
JSON in the external tool. This leads not to use postgresql JSON builder at
all, and delegate this job to a tool that is able to deal with > 1GO
documents.

Comparing to mongoDB 16MO document limitation 1GO is great (

case this is not sufficient.
