1) When at least one of the two json documents is of scalar type:
1.a) If value and json document both are scalar, then return true
if they have same type and value.
1.b) If json document is scalar but other is array (or vice versa),
then return true if array has at least one element of same type
and value as scalar.
1.c) If one is scalar and other is object, then return false because
it can't be compared.
2) When both arguments are of non-scalar type and below conditons
are satisfied then return true:
2.a) When both arguments are arrays:
Iterate over the value and json document. If there exists at
least one element in other array of same type and value as
that of element in value.
2.b) If both arguments are objects:
Iterate over value and json document and if there exists at least
one key-value pair common between two objects.
2.c) If either of json document or value is array and other is object:
Iterate over the array, if an element of type object is found,
then compare it with the object (which is the other arguemnt).
If the entire object matches i.e all they key value pairs match.

MariaDB: The open source relational database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Help
More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss, MariaDB's Zulip instance, https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/
Live QA for beginner contributors
MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip. From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays, anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
