This feels like unnecessary magic to me, when you can already write this, and 
have all the power and flexibility of the existing JSON functions:

$data = ['name' => 'John'];
$sth = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO table (json_column) values (:data)');
$sth->bindParam(':data', json_encode($data), PDO::PARAM_STRING);


As I say, array types are much more fiddly, so support for those would be great 
- that could just be well-tested encode /decode functions.
