JSONiq: The JSON Query Language
The long time reader William Candillon of 28msec send me a link to JSONiq - The JSON Query Language, a group initiative to bring XQuery-like queriability to JSON:
Our goal in the JSONiq group, is to put the maturity of XQuery to work with JSON data. JSONiq is an open extension of the XQuery data model and syntax to support JSON.
After reading and experimenting a bit with JSONiq my initial thought is that while it looks interesting, it feels like an XMLish complicated query language that doesn’t really reflect the simplicity and philosophy of JSON.
let $stats := db:find("stats")
for $access in $stats
group by $url := $access("url")
return {
"url": $url,
"avg": avg($access("response_time")),
"hits": count($access)
}What do you think?
