It’s still input and output as JSON, though.
Yes, because JavaScript Object Notation *is* a serialization format
(aka Notation) for converting JavaScript Objects to text format
and back :)
I still like JSONB best.
To me it feels redundant, like binarytextbinary
the binary representation of JSON is JavaScript(-like) Object, not
"binary json"
So my vote would be either jsobj or jsdoc (as "document databases") tend
to call the structured types "documents"
You know that both types support scalar values right? 'a'::JSON works now, and 'a'::hstore works
with the WIP patch. For that reason I would not think that "doc" or "obj" would
be good choices.
I like JSONB because:
1. The "B" means "binary"
2. The "B" means "second"
3. It's short
4. See also BYTEA.
Best,
David
Whatever, I think the first 4 characters have to 'JSON' - for easy
identification.
Cheers,
Gavin
