just arriving here I would make several points:
1. you never actually stated what the uniform JSON response pattern was, or why you require it
2. even if the server does respond with a uniform single JSON response, why should that dictate the internal data storage? If you read a book that doesn't mean there's a miniature version of that book and microscopic pens writing down the words as you read them, and a tiny little man with glasses who reads it back to you everytime you remember it
if your brain is indeed full of tiny books for each actual book you've ever read then that's a literal miracle
but your website shouldn't work the same way
and who says the JSON has to go in the post content anyway, lots of other places it could go
and does it have to be the exact same JSON even with all the mistakes and the same whitespace?
or just a response that's still JSON but equivalent
aka { foo: true } vs { "foo": true }?
also, if you put everything in a single field then you can't query on its contents. Content etc are all strings in the database, so you can't query by keys or arrays in your JSON
also congrats @bosco on finally getting your extended comment invitation :)
