Shouldn't this be "otherwise you wouldn't be capitalizing on the advantages of a schemaless, document-oriented database"?
The fact that it's JSON (vs. some other format) seems immaterial
- matwood 9y agoAs an aside, I hate the term 'schemaless' because there is always a schema. https://blog.jooq.org/2014/10/20/stop-claiming-that-youre-using-a-schemaless-database/ https://blog.jooq.org/2014/10/20/stop-claiming-that-youre-us...
- lukaseder 9y agoYep. Schema-on-read (E.g. MongoDB) or schema-on-write (E.g. Oracle)
- metheus 9y agoQuibble: “schemaless” isn’t accurate, MongoDB supports schema (JSON Schema, in fact). We often say “dynamic schema”. But your main point is good—- JSON isn’t the essence of it. And yet it’s part of it, in that you could store XML and still be a document DB; MongoDB definitely chose JSON as the medium deliberately.
