Comment (by radbrad182+djangoproject@…):
JSON fields are also a great way to store basic, dynamic, typed data.
Being able to store Key Value data in the DB would be useful:
{{{
class Key(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
name = models.CharField()
value = models.JSONField()
user.key_set.create(name="an_integer", value=4)
user.key_set.create(name="a_list", value=['a','b','c'])
}}}
Normally to get this kind of basic data typing you would need to store
another field for value_type, and then parse manually.
Arguing that this should be stored in a K/V store is not ideal as it adds
dependency on another datastore type, and you lose out on
user.key_set.get(name='something').
