How can I change the field output for JSON:API?

Problem/Motivation

I'm using the JSON Field → module and I have added a JSON field to my site. In the field settings, I set the field to "store as raw JSON in the database", but since I am using mariadb, it is actually stored as text.

The problem is that when I access this field via the core JSON:API, I get a string, not JSON. So I'm looking for a way to convert the string to "real" JSON before output by JSON:API.

I checked the customizing resources documentation → but none of the methods there seemed like they would help in this case.

I'd appreciate it very much if someone could point to what I need to extend to get my JSON Field module JSON fields to automatically be output as JSON when accessed from JSON:API.

    For anybody comming here from Google, like me, you can achieve this with the jsonapi_extras module. There is config page "JSON:API Resource overrides" were you can choose to override settings. To do so you choose the entity and click the override button. Then choose the json_raw field of your liking and go to "Advanced" and pick the enhancer "JSON Field".

    After that, at least for me, the result of an json_field in the JSON:API was pure JSON.

    (I still have to test, if the POST and PATCH will handle the pure JSON as well, but ready pure JSON is a great start)
