Using SingleStoreDB as a JSON Document Database

Abstract

Continuing our series on the multi-model capabilities of SingleStoreDB, we'll discuss SingleStoreDB's support for JSON data in this article.

We'll build a small inventory system to model an online store that sells various electronic equipment. This example is derived from an excellent tutorial available on DigitalOcean. We'll apply that tutorial to SingleStoreDB, and we'll see that it is effortless to store, retrieve and query JSON data using SingleStoreDB. We'll also build a quick visual front-end to our inventory system using Laravel and PHP.
