XML & JSON

While “NoSQL” gets the headlines, XML and JSON have been making quiet but significant moves.  The emergence of XQuery, and in turn JSONiq, now provides the ability to query XML and JSON data.  Further extensions such as JSON-LD (Linked Data) can be used with MongoDB to provide for an efficient database representation for use in intermediate- to large-scale deployment scenarios creating the semantic “Web of Knowledge.” These are just examples of the cross fertilization of technical ideas between the XML and the NoSQL communities, so join us for the discussions at NoSQL Now!.
