Description:
I could not find storage requirements for JSON type columns in MySQL documentation

How much storage space will be allocated for a JSON column in InnoDB? Perhaps  JSON columns are similar to BLOB?

How to repeat:
There is no information on JSON type here:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/storage-requirements.html

Suggested fix:
Would appreciate a documentation update.

Hello Oleg Sverdlov,

Thank you for the reasonable feature request.
However I see that JSON data type data storage requirements are covered in detailed in the manual page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/storage-requirements.html#data-types-storage-reqs-... hence closing the report for now. Thank you.

regards,
Umesh
