   The functions in this section perform search or comparison
      operations on JSON values to extract data from them, report
      whether data exists at a location within them, or report the path
      to data within them. The

      simplifies creating indexes on
          JSON columns by making it unnecessary in many cases to create
          a generated column and then an index on the generated column.
          You can do this when creating a table
      <code class="literal">
       t1
      </code>
      that has a

      column by
          creating an index on an expression that uses
      <code class="literal">
       JSON_VALUE()
      </code>
      operating on that column (with
          a path that matches a value in that column), as shown here:
