Postgres supports native nested structures. Well, as long as your structures are not circular. JSON everywhere is really a bad choice for most data structures.

JSON everywhere is really a bad choice for most data structures. It's like having no structure at all.
- masklinn 13y agoWhich is pretty much what you want to build a schemaless nosql-on-postgres. Also, Posgres already has hstore (already mentioned) and XML columns, which are schemaless and "unstructured".
- zapov 13y agoWell, I'm arguing that flexible schema is better than no schema. And in practice schemaless is only about schema defined outside of database. It's a solution to the wrong problem.
