The current version of sqlite library github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.14.10 does not have support for JSON objects by default, which in SQLite was introduced with version 3.38.0, which is already available in github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.14.14 which uses SQLite version 3.38.5

Solution:
Update the library version in go.mod file to github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.14.14
