Send the Json document as is

[mfresh]

Hi mreiche, thanks for your reply, but I wonder if you actually read the question before replying ?

Why would I use the java-sdk when my whole backend is using node JS ? The question is tagged clearly under “Node.js SDK” . You realize that it is not possible for me to switch my whole backend to Java.

what do you mean "de/serialization from/to JSON is fast " ? JSON compression and decompression has been shown to be the primary bottleneck in multiple scenarios. It is a useless performance hit on every document retrieval in a very common scenario, when we just want to return a document as is without making changes to it, for many GET routes in a REST API.

For reference, here is an article on how LinkedIn solved performance issues by optimizing JSON :

I recreated my question while trying to make it more clear what I’m trying to accomplish :

Can the Couchbase NodeJS SDK return a JSON document as a raw JSON string, without parsing it first?

Hello, Couchbase stores the documents as JSON, and the Couchbase NodeJS SDK retrieves the documents from the couchbase server as JSON strings. ( correct me if this is wrong) when I use the method “couchbase.Scope.query” from the NodeJS SDK, the JSON is automatically parsed by the NodeJS SDK and returned as JavaScript objects. when my REST API sends back a response to the browser client, the documents need to be re-stringified as JSON strings. often, I make no changes to documents before return…
