My point is that that JSON isn’t being delivered via a js db but instead translated from data stored in a database written in C. So the “what about json” gotcha isn’t as good as it was made to seem.
No it isn’t though? JSON is used, by developers, as an intermediary to exchange data pulled from a db. Your point that json is proof that the GP comment is false is not even a point but some kind of fallacy akin to a strawman.
Your inference of my intentions, as an intermediary to deflect from the facts presented, is proof that you're trying really hard to be edgy. Akin to a strawquant.
The people behind javascript provided the object notation technology that has been absorbed by Postgres. It is not only being used to exchange data (as a standard text field would be used), but can be used to QUERY data. The database is aware not only of the JSON text string representation, but of the object itself.
What does that have to do with JSON being an intermediary language and not the actual persistence part? What part of that don’t you understand and I’ll try to explain it for you
I understand perfectly the difference between a system and a format. You either don’t or you’re trolling (and dishing out ad hominems to boot.). Reddit would be more suitable to your posting style, we come here with a higher expectation of them being actual discourse and intellectual honesty.
