I’m not talking about dynamic columns, I’m asking about native column JSON data type. In simple words, can I run the following code on any MariaDB version?
CREATE TABLE example (names JSON);
As far as I know, it doesn’t but I’m still not sure since there’s a lot of topics talking about JSON support on MariaDB for ages, but none said it’s finally implemented.
— Update —
Just found three issues still open on MariaDB Jira about JSON data type support, which means it's still not yet implemented, right?

JSON support will come to MariaDB 10.2. See the official MariaDB blog post from 28.02.2017. There are some example SQL statements and validation.
