JSON Data Type | Backendless Database Training Course (pt. 11)
In this video, we're going to be discussing the JSON data type available in Backendless Database. The database itself is a relational system that provides support for well-structured data, and with Backendless Database, you can describe pretty much any entity by identifying its properties and declaring those properties as columns and the corresponding data tables as a result. However, there are some cases when any given entity may need to have additional description that does not follow a specific structure, and that's where JSON comes into play and becomes very effective.
We'll be discussing some use cases and examples of when it makes sense to start using JSON in Backendless, such as a product configurator or when a single record in Backendless Database may need to have a collection of integers. We'll also be demonstrating how to create a JSON column and work with JSON documents in Backendless Console.
