I used JSON extensively in one of my projects, but have never used SQLXML. I'm having trouble understanding why the
SQLXMLinterface adds any value to passing rs.getBinaryStream to your favorite JSON parser. Especially since you would
haveto use getObject, I am not seeing how:
rs.getObject("field", SQLJSON.class).mapToType(MyType.class)
is simpler than:
jacksonObjectMapper.readValue(rs.getBinaryStream("field"), MyType.class)
which already works today as far as I understand. Doubly so since nobody will agree on which JSON parsing library to
use.
I'm sure I'm missing something?
