Triggered send by accident:
select ('"va\"lue"'::json)::text;
text
-----------
"va\"lue"
(1 row)
the JSON escaping is retained. That may be reasonable for a
text-cast, so I'm not suggesting its reinterpretation, but there is no
operator I can identify immediately from the documentation to convert
a JSON string value into a Postgres one like json_each_text, except on
a json that contains a scalar JSON string.
