Hi everyone,  
If anybody has any experience regarding this topic, is there a performance difference between using query JSON column and javascript column (parsing the json and returning the queried fields)?  
I know there use to be one with the deprecated transform JSON.

Thank you!

I don’t think there is any difference. I use both, depending on the situation.

I did run into performance issues with the old Transform JSON column, and I stopped using that after a while. I found that it would get bogged down very quickly when processing large amounts of data. But the new one is much better.
