An Object-Document Mapper (ODM) for Doctrine ORM leveraging new JSON types of modern RDBMS. Did you ever dream of a tool creating powerful data models mixing traditional, efficient relational mappings with modern schema-less and NoSQL-like ones? With Doctrine JSON ODM, it's now possible to create and query such hybrid data models with ease. Thanks to modern JSON types of RDBMS, querying schema-less documents is easy, powerful and fast as hell (similar in performance to a MongoDB database)! You can even define indexes for those documents. Doctrine JSON ODM allows to store PHP objects as JSON documents in modern, dynamic columns of an RDBMS. It works with JSON and JSONB columns of PostgreSQL (>= 9.4) and the JSON column type of MySQL.
Features
- To install the library, use Composer, the PHP package manager
- composer require dunglas/doctrine-json-odm If you are using Symfony or API Platform, you don't need to do anything else
- Doctrine JSON ODM provides a json_document column type for properties of Doctrine entities
- You can store any type of (serializable) PHP data structures in properties mapped using the json_document type
- When the object will be hydrated, the JSON content of this column is transformed back to its original values
- You can introduce type aliases at any point in time
