Hello @jlynchMicron , thanks for the feedback. We are actively working on JSON support, for example by adding some JSON functions to the bigframes.bigquery package (see: https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/bigframes/latest/bigframes.bigquery#bigframes_bigquery_json_set).

Based on the linked issue (https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/issues/1966), are you also looking for better I/O support for JSON, so that to_gbq can produce tables with JSON columns?
