Is there any plans for NoSQL/JSON Support. MySQL 5.7/MariaDB 10.2.7/PostgreSQL 9 support a JSON Data Type: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json.html / https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/json-mariadb-102 / https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/sta ... -json.html

Doing so could allow for a field like the one below, that lets you put any number of attributes into a field and make them searchable/indexable/etc. It allows for a mix of dissimilar products to be stored in one database without reserving space. It allows for a single field for contact information instead of a field for each item of a users' contact info.

NoSQL is becoming increasingly popular and an implementation of being able to put and pull fields in/out of a JSON field would be amazing!
