01Clusterpoint database

Clusterpoint is a schema-free document database.

Examples are where SQL RDBMS data is used in combination with an enterprise search engine to address performance and scalability needs of web and mobile applications, or where big data and analytics tools such as Hadoop might be needed due to sheer volume of data or large computing workloads.

General features

  • Data is managed in open, cross-platform, industry-standard XML or JSON format using open API, for instance, Python API or JavaScript Node.js API
  • Data structure agnostic and type-rich database, handles variable data structure XML or JSON documents in a single database. Supports unstructured textual data, dates, numbers, meta-data (all XML and JSON types)
  • Cross-platform support: binaries are available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Windows. Clusterpoint database software can be compiled on other operating systems.
