Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), a scalable, highly available, and fully managed Cassandra-compatible database service, now supports JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) syntax to help you read and write data from other systems more easily.
JSON is a popular data format used for configuration files, storing the state of applications, and exchanging data between systems. Now, Amazon Keyspaces helps you read and write JSON documents more easily by supporting JSON syntax for INSERT and SELECT operations. When you read and write JSON data, Keyspaces maps the attributes within a JSON document automatically to a target table’s schema. Using the built-in JSON syntax support in Keyspaces helps you ensure proper formatting of JSON data by validating the structure of JSON documents against a table’s schema. Storing JSON documents in Keyspaces also helps you query for data across multiple JSON documents efficiently by using Cassandra Query Language (CQL).
Support for JSON in Amazon Keyspaces is available at no additional cost and in all AWS Regions where Keyspaces is offered.
For more information, see JSON Encoding in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
