Description

JSON and the moon landing: what to keep in mind when modeling JSON data
JSON has gained a lot of popularity as a backend data model in recent years. But since JSON is a hierarchical data model certain use cases are hard to map to JSON. This session focusses on JSON design and modeling questions. Learn about the differences of the relational and JSON data models, how to avoid mistakes when modeling JSON and how to combine JSON with relational features.
