BSON. Massive duplication of object keys in requests and responses at least.

Also reminds me of tnetstrings and Bencode.

Can you expand on this, please? Why is BSON bad?


Duplication of keys like name and address in {"name": "Test", "address": "1234 Main St."} - it will have name and address in each record, whereas in SQL it isn't in the data, although it's in the queries.
