Native JSON in Dragonfly: Simplified Document Storage

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has become one of the most popular standards for data exchange between systems due to its lightweight, human-readable format. It is not only used for transmission but also for data storage with many modern databases supporting it as a native data type. Storing JSON documents in a data store can be done in two ways: as strings or as a native data type. The latter option provides advanced query capabilities such as indexing, filtering, and aggregation, making it particularly useful when the JSON data is complex and hierarchical. Dragonfly offers native JSON support built-in, eliminating the need to manage external modules or deal with compatibility issues. This feature not only simplifies setup but also ensures high performance for JSON operations.
