JSON Database
A JSON database is a NoSQL database system that stores, queries, and manages data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format, often using document-oriented models. It allows developers to work with data in a flexible, schema-less way, making it ideal for applications with evolving or unstructured data requirements. These databases typically support JSON natively, enabling efficient storage and retrieval of hierarchical data structures.
Developers should use a JSON database when building modern web applications, APIs, or real-time systems that require flexible data schemas, such as content management systems, IoT platforms, or mobile backends. It is particularly valuable for projects where data structures change frequently or when integrating with JSON-based APIs, as it eliminates the need for complex object-relational mapping (ORM) and reduces development time.
