SQLite Query that parses JSON string in a column

Question

I have a SQLite database built with ROOM persistence to store Users data. One of the fields in the User object is a MAP which is stored in the table as Json String

column name: "user_status"

{"user1":1, "user2":0, "user3":2, ....}

Now I want to query through this JSON string to filter the list of users according to their status

Something like:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE status.user1 = 1

How can I manage that?

Answer 1

I managed to work around by using LIKE and parsing the JSON data as String

SELECT * FROM users WHERE status LIKE '%'||:userId||'\":1%' LIMIT 1

I know it might not be the best option, but works for now.
