​Forget structural format. What you are doing is storing and retrieving
text. Use the "text" data type. If you are having issues supply some
code/examples so others can point out what you are doing wrong. Saying "it
seems stripped out" doesn't communicate anything substantially useful.

​You can encode and decode at the application layer.​
