Learn the new Document Store feature and build applications around a mix of the best features from SQL and NoSQL database paradigms. Don't allow yourself to be forced into one paradigm or the other, but combine both approaches by using the Document Store feature that is new in MySQL 8. MySQL 8 was designed from the beginning to bridge the gap between NoSQL and SQL. Oracle recognizes that many solutions need the capabilities of both. More specifically, developers need to store objects as loose collections of schema-less documents, but those same developers also need the ability to run structured queries on their data. With MySQL 8, you can do both! Introducing the MySQL 8 Document Store presents new tools and features that make creating a hybrid database solution far easier than ever before. The book covers the vitally important MySQL Document Store, the new X Protocol for developing applications, and a new client shell called the MySQL X Shell. Also covered are supporting technologies and concepts such as JSON, schema-less documents, and more.

Introducing the MySQL 8 Document Store explores these features giving insight into how they work, and how to apply them to get the most out of your MySQL experience.
