`json_get`, its typed variants, and `json_extract` are **index-accelerated** by a

JSON scalar index. See [Functions](/sql/scalar-functions#json).

### Blobs {#blobs}
|

|
||||
A blob column is read either as its binary contents or as a **description**: a

pointer plus metadata, without fetching the bytes. That choice changes the

column's Arrow type, and therefore the schema your query sees.

<Warning>
|

The default reads blob columns as descriptions and other binary columns as

binary. A query selecting a blob column and expecting bytes gets a struct.
