Store JSON as text or UTF-8 encoded blobs?

Hey.

I’m considering migrating my DB from using multiple columns to just 2
columns, with the second one being a JSON object.  Is there going to be any
real difference between TEXT or UTF-8 encoded BLOB?

I guess it would probably be easier to get tools like spark to parse the
object as JSON if it’s represented as a BLOB.
