Description:
JSON is often used in the web applications today. Supporting JSON object inside MySQL will make many web developers happy :)

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
- Add 'JSON' as a new data type
- Allow JSON columns to be indexed.
- If the column is indexed:
  * have a separate hidden column to store a value for a specified/indexed key
  * column data is parsed automatically when inserted/updated.

This implementation can be used with any storage engines. Not only MyISAM, but also InnoDB or even NDB.
