Searchability.

using a linked table, you can do
SELECT * FROM main_data WHERE ROWID IN ( SELECT link_id FROM extra_data WHERE key1 = ? AND value1 LIKE ? )

Consider also:
do you want to put a storage method (JSON) inside a different storage method (SQL)?

    Modern databases understand JSON and can search inside the structure, see e.g. MariaDB or PostgreSQL.
    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      But is that as efficient as "classic" scalar datatypes, like strings or integers? Any benchmarks?
