Yes. The 'decoding' came from the functionality (logical decoding) and
because the POC plugin is named 'test_decoding'. I also think that
'json_decoding' doesn't say much about the module purpose. I confess
that I don't like the name but can't come up with a good name. Maybe
'wal2json' or 'logrep2json'? Could you suggest something?

I'll consider for next version.

Same here. I already took a look at the json datatype but decided that I
wouldn't mess up with the backend code before have a feedback in the
general idea.

'plugin' was a tentative to produce an unique name (it sucks but...).
