JSON’s nestable structure is ideal for representing hierarchical data relationships, such as orders containing customers and products with various details.
SQL lacks support for complex nested structures, while new databases like DuckDB offer partial support for processing JSON data.
DuckDB handles single-row nested fields efficiently but struggles with multi-row nested fields in calculations.
DuckDB can expand multi-row nested fields for calculations, which can be less efficient compared to using a physical flat table.
DuckDB can perform calculations on multi-row nested fields using lambda syntax, but this approach can be cumbersome.
esProc SPL fully implements multi-layer nested table mechanisms, providing concise and consistent code for data processing.
Python supports multi-layer nested structures but requires more complex coding compared to SPL, particularly for multi-row nested fields.
SPL offers concise and consistent syntax for handling nested data structures, making it a professional choice for such data processing tasks.
Python's syntax inconsistencies and verbosity in handling nested data make it less effective for complex calculations compared to SPL.
SPL simplifies the process of filtering and calculating data within multi-layer nested structures, offering clear and concise code.
