jsonb_path_match()
Returns the SQL boolean result of a JSON path predicate check for the specified JSON value. (This is useful only with predicate check expressions, not SQL-standard JSON path expressions, since it will either fail or return NULL if the path result is not a single boolean value.) The optional vars and silent arguments act the same as for jsonb_path_exists.
