+    | Support for custom DB types
+    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    |
+    | This setting allow you to map any custom database type (that you may have
+    | created using CREATE TYPE statement or imported using database plugin
+    | / extension to a Doctrine type.
+    |
+    | Each key in this array is a name of the Doctrine2 DBAL Platform. Currently valid names are:
+    | 'postgresql', 'db2', 'drizzle', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'sqlanywhere', 'sqlite', 'mssql'
+    |
+    | This name is returned by getName() method of the specific Doctrine/DBAL/Platforms/AbstractPlatform descendant
+    |
+    | The value of the array is an array of type mappings. Key is the name of the custom type,
+    | (for example, "jsonb" from Postgres 9.4) and the value is the name of the corresponding Doctrine2 type (in
+    | our case it is 'json_array'. Doctrine types are listed here:
+    | http://doctrine-dbal.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/types.html
+    |
+    | So to support jsonb in your models when working with Postgres, just add the following entry to the array below:
+    |
+    | "postgresql" => array(
+    |       "jsonb" => "json_array",
