MySQL without the SQL - Oh My!

MySQL can be used as a NoSQL JSON document store as well as a traditional relational SQL database. Plus you no longer have to embed ugly strings of SQL in your code, have to wait for a DBA to set up tables, and the API calls follow modern programming practices. You get the best of both the NoSQL and SQL worlds.
