Doctrine JSON ODM
=================

[](#doctrine-json-odm)

An Object-Document Mapper (ODM) for [Doctrine ORM](http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm.html) leveraging new JSON types of modern RDBMS.

Did you ever dream of a tool creating powerful data models mixing traditional, efficient relational mappings with modern schema-less and NoSQL-like ones?

With Doctrine JSON ODM, it's now possible to create and query such hybrid data models with ease. Thanks to [modern JSON types of RDBMS](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-json.html), querying schema-less documents is easy, powerful and [fast as hell (similar in performance to a MongoDB database)](http://www.enterprisedb.com/postgres-plus-edb-blog/marc-linster/postgres-outperforms-mongodb-and-ushers-new-developer-reality)! You can even [define indexes](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-json.html#JSON-INDEXING) for those documents.

Doctrine JSON ODM allows to store PHP objects as JSON documents in modern, dynamic columns of an RDBMS. It works with JSON and JSONB columns of PostgreSQL (>= 9.4) and the JSON column type of MySQL (>= 5.7.8).

For more information about concepts behind Doctrine JSON ODM, take a look at [the presentation given by Benjamin Eberlei at Symfony Catalunya 2016](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8w1y1Jo7YI).

Install
-------

[](#install)

To install the library, use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), the PHP package manager:

```
composer require dunglas/doctrine-json-odm

```

If you are using [Symfony](https://symfony.com) or [API Platform](https://api-platform.com), you don't need to do anything else! If you use Doctrine directly, use a bootstrap code similar to the following:

```
