Documentation: Migrating to the builtin JSONField in newer versions of Django

[anrie]

Hey!

Considering the advice to eventually use Django's builtin JSONField:

If you're an end user of PostgreSQL and want full-featured JSON support, then it is recommended that you use the built-in JSONField.

How would the migration path look like in case you are already using django-jsonfield and want to change to the builtin version?

Is it simply possible to transparently swap the field and go with Django's proposed AlterField migration or are there any gotchas and things to consider?

Just wanted to clarify, since I'm also looking into swapping to the built-in field: django-jsonfield is not the library contained in this repo.

• jsonfield: https://pypi.org/project/jsonfield/
• django-jsonfield: https://pypi.org/project/django-jsonfield/

Some guide or example project would still be very much appreciated! I'm using this package and not django-jsonfield.
