A JSON database is a [[document-oriented database]] that manages a collection of [[JSON]] documents. It is a non-relational database management system.
A JSON store provides an object-like representation of data to which today’s widely used [[Object-oriented programming]] languages and web services map nicely. At the same time it has the advantage of not being tied to any one language. As with other document-oriented databases, the JSON documents need not all share the same schema. This fits in well with agile programming and dynamically typed languages.

== Implementations ==

* [[CouchDB]]: JSON database that exposes a [[RESTful]] HTTP API and the ability to define views using different languages.
* [[MongoDB]]: Manages collections of documents that are JSON-like and are stored in a binary format called [[BSON]]. Supports a rich query language and has a query optimizer.
* Persevere: JSON database and JavaScript Application Server. Provides [[RESTful]] JSON interface for Create, read, update, and delete access to data. Also supports JSONQuery/JSONPath querying.<ref>http://persvr.org/</ref>
* DBSlayer: Lightweight database abstraction layer that talks to clients via JSON over HTTP used by the [[New York Times]].<ref>http://code.nytimes.com/projects/dbslayer</ref>
