postgresql - Query jsonb fields in the postgres SQL

Question

I'm trying fetch the maximum date from the jsonb column.

I'm getting this below error..

------------------------------------
id  |       obj_value(jsonb) 
------------------------------------
1   | {"value": [{"date": "2020-12-2020"}]} 
------------------------------------
2   | {"value": [{"date": "2020-12-2019"}]} 
---------------------------------
3   | {"value": [{"date": "2020-12-2018"}]} 
---------------------------------

here is the SQL query

SELECT max(obj_value->'value'->0->'effectiveDate')
FROM public.tbl_data  
where obj_value->'value'->0->>'effectiveDate' <= TO_CHAR(CURRENT_DATE, 'YYYY-MM-DD')

I'm getting this below error..

ERROR:  function max(jsonb) does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT max(obj_value->'value'->0->'effectiveDate')
               ^
