   By support, do you mean storing the data in these formats?
   
   I can't speak for the direction of the project as a whole, but I would think that would not be the case. Iceberg is really designed to take advantage of tabular data and the storage formats that benefit from having schema to be able to reduce the amount of data that is read for a query. I'm not sure that would be something that could be accomplished with json data storage.
   
   Could you describe your specific use case case (or one of them) in more detail? There might be a solution or pattern in practice that you could benefit from.
   
   If you're looking for a simple one of column, you can  always have a string column for a json blob as an example.
