Postgres has had a native json type and the latest version improves upon the functions given to manipulate json data. So data that may not map well to a relational schema can just be put in the json object type and handled accordingly. Also, because it's attached to an SQL engine, you can use things like views on your json data if it makes sense for the type of data you're querying. There has been a considerable amount of work put into postgres over the past few years for getting it to handle your data regardless of what it looks like. The developers seem to have a very good grasp on the fact that not all data is alike, and giving tools that will work well, and together with, all your data leads to a lot fewer headaches in the long run.
