JSONCollection vs BSONCollection

[Sunil Pasumarthi]

which collection must be used since both can be used to get work done.

[Sunil Pasumarthi]

I am asking in terms of time complexity. Which takes less time and which is lighter in weight?

[cchantep]

I don't think the question should first be considered in the light of time or complexity. Either you work with JSON and so JSONCollection is easier, otherwise you can work with BSONCollection without dependency/library other than ReactiveMongo base driver.

Also note that both collections can be used at the same time. The JSONCollection doesn't support all the operations that BSONCollection does and also isn't quite as strong with data typing. JSON just doesn't contain as much information as BSON. As an example, JSON supports a type Number while BSON distinguishes between different types of numbers.

I would say if you don't use JSON otherwise, then go for BSON. If you use JSON, either still use BSONCollection or use a combination to get the full range of capabilities, like findAndModify commands.

We use BSON just about exclusively for saving data but sometimes fetch it with JSON if we just want to pass the JSON as it is to our client.

With the future 0.11 driver, both collections have been refactored to comply with the new common serialization API, so that features will be present on both.

[Sunil Pasumarthi]

does that future driver supports play 2.4?? or should play 2.4 app need another way to include play-reactivemongo plugin to get things done??

[Cédric Chantepie]

It will support Play 2.4.

so if i use BSONCollection for my json data for inserting, will it go and directly sit into mongodb so that i have already converted into BSON?? or will it go any other conversion to mongodb bson??

What is JSONCollection? There is no such thing in ReactiveMongo: http://reactivemongo.org/releases/0.10.5/api/index.html

JSONCollection does not comes with ReactiveMongo Driver, it comes with ReactiveMongo Plugin..
