Mongoose: Bringing JSON-Oriented Developers to Apache Cassandra
Apache Cassandra is becoming the best database for handling JSON documents. If you’re a Cassandra developer who finds that statement provocative, read on.
In Stargate’s original Document API, the API handles JSON by making it look like a traditional Cassandra table.
Essentially, what we will have done is to take the building blocks of Cassandra, Stargate and a reasonably efficient Cassandra data model and build a document database that you interact with through a JSON API. In other words, we’ve used super shredding to create a purpose-built database that better serves the community of Mongoose developers.
