[TEASER] A noSQL library is coming...

[Andrew Kluthe]

How does this fair against multi-dimensional arrays?

Can I store  "andre" into tA["name"]["first"] and "garzia" into
tA["name"]["last"] like with embedded documents in MongoDB?
(http://goo.gl/RMRL8)

How is the data being saved? XML, JSON, some kind of binary format?

Thanks!

Andrew
