Joseph,

Most existing data types have a regression SQL script in 
src/test/regress/sql. Using one of them as an example to draw some 
inspiration from, you should be able to write a 'json.sql' script that 
exercises the data type and it's supporting functions. Full instructions 
can be found at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Regression_test_authoring
