JSON beyond the Blob - Data evolution with Hibernate ORM
Christian Beikov - IBM
Hibernate ORM has been a core persistence solution for Java developers for many years, and the latest versions have caught up on many modern SQL features.
This talk shows how a JSON Blob, stored for traceability during data import, evolves into business data that is queried, indexed and validated. You will learn how to map JSON fields, query nested values, index them efficiently, and how JSON data can co-exist with relational data in a modern database. If you work with data imports, event payloads, or hybrid models, this session will show you how to go beyond the Blob, and make JSON a first-class citizen of your Java persistence layer.
