One of the coolest things about programming – and technology in general – is seeing how the community leverages the tools that we’ve got.
Sometimes, we use them for their intended purpose; other times, we build something completely new and useful (though not always).
Such is the case with SQLike…
Although JSON is typically used to serialize JavaScript-based objects in order to send them across the web, other developers have begun to use it as ways of managing a set of data.
And once you’ve got a set of data, you want to query it. Thomas Frank has provided the engine and Leon Bambrick has provided a simple, solid web-based editor:
It’s important to note that SQLike is not SQL, though it supports selects, unions, joins, deletes, updates, intersections, inserts, and more – everything you’d expect in an SQL-based language.
Still, it provides incredibly functionality when it comes to querying data on the client side.
