MySQL & JSON A Practical Programming Guide - Second Edition

by David Stokes

JSON - JavaScript Object Notation - has become the data interchange format for most developers. MySQL added a JSON data type plus NoSQL JSON Document Store so developers can work with both relational tables and schema-less JSON document collections in version 5.7. MySQL 8.0 has introduced many new JSON centric features. This book is a practical guide on how to take advantage of JSON data with a MySQL database with numerous easy-to-follow examples, clear explanations, and coding examples. This book will become your reference guide on using JSON data with a MySQL database, the numerous functions used with JSON data, the functions that can convert non-JSON relational data into JSON, the MySQL Document Store, and converting JSON data temporarily into structured (SQL) data for processing with SQL commands.
