Making JSONField a core field was discussed in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/sAgYOqBUvgI/discussion
Adam said, "my recent completion of its *JSONField* for MySQL 5.7+ is very similar to the *contrib.postgres* one, copying and adapting large parts of code from Marc Tamlyn's work. We all know how much everyone loves JSON these days. If anything, this could be a core field rather than a *contrib* one - Oracle and SQLite also have JSON capabilities now. JSON everywhere!" Marc said, "I'm happy for JSONField to be made a core field on the condition that it's underlying support is more than a text blob on all our main databases. It sounds like this will soon be the case."
