Installation requirements for the JSON Java API

To enable support for programming with JSON in Db2, the server and client must be running specific software.

Tip: The Java™ API is no longer the recommended approach for working with JSON data in Db2 for z/OS®. For best results, use SQL and the built-in functions that are supplied with Db2 for z/OS instead. For more information, see Working with JSON documents by using SQL.
