Implementing NoSQL APIs
So far, we have seen how NoSQL databases can help in various ways and also walked through the differences between SQL and NoSQL. Now you might be wondering how we can store/retrieve data to MySQL? MySQL 8 is already providing many APIs in different languages to access MySQL, which works like NoSQL. MySQL has implemented NoSQL interfaces on the top of InnoDB and MySQL Cluster engines, which bypass the SQL layer completely.
Hence, it will store key/value data directly to the MySQL tables with higher speed without doing SQL parsing and optimization. MySQL still maintains all the advantages of its existing relational database infrastructure and the user can continue executing complex queries with SQL on the same datasets.
There are mainly two types of NoSQL APIs used with MySQL 8 in various programming languages.
- NoSQL API with the Memcached layer
- NoSQL API with Java
- NoSQL API with PHP
- NoSQL API with Python
- NoSQL API with Perl
- NoSQL API with NDB Cluster
- NDB API for NodeJS
- NDB...
