Hi @denesb,

I am not able to understand how to execute JSON queries. Any example would be helpful along with prerequisite queries.

This works:

```auto
cqlsh> INSERT INTO ks.tbl_json JSON '{"scores": {"11": 112}, "id": 0}';

```

Note, that object keys are always string in `JSON`, even if in this case, the map represented by the `JSON` object is `map<int, int>`.
