Django's F objects does not perform JSON lookups. A ticket has been raised 
for the same https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29769

I have written a customer expression for querying JSONField and
* it works!*

class KeyTextTransformFactory:

    def __init__(self, key_name):
        self.key_name = key_name

    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return KeyTextTransform(self.key_name, *args, **kwargs)

class JSONF(F):

    def resolve_expression(self, query=None, allow_joins=True, reuse=None, 
summarize=False, for_save=False):
        rhs = super().resolve_expression(query, allow_joins, reuse, summarize, 
for_save)

        field_list = self.name.split(LOOKUP_SEP)
        for name in field_list[1:]:
            rhs = KeyTextTransformFactory(name)(rhs)
        return rhs

It is necessary to include Cast in rhs,
Sample.objects.filter(jsonfield__lookup__value=Cast(JSONF('value'), 
IntegerField()))

Note: This is my first contribution in Django source code, any 
comments/suggestions would help me learn the process better.





Thank you,
