A JSON database is a BSD-licensed free 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.[1]
  • DBSlayer: Lightweight database abstraction layer that talks to clients via JSON over HTTP used by the New York Times.[2]
