ListField, JSONField and DictField

[Lekan Wahab]

Hi guys,
This question just came to me this evening and I've really been thinking about it.

Can someone explain to me why Django doesn't have ListField, JSONField or DictField by default in its model Fields?

I mean,  these are obviously things that would ease a lot of work so why aren't they available yet?

I do see them available as Postgres fields because Postgres supports them natively.  I assume that they aren’t by default in model Fields because other databases may not support them natively.
