Javascript has taken over the world of apps. It is the language for Internet and mobile app development. And Javascript developers want to work with JSON as their primary data structure of choice. Relational database developers can moan about a lack of concern for data integrity, consistency, etc. But that won't stop anybody. So maybe we should give them the best of both worlds: work with JSON, but store and manipulate that JSON data in a powerful, fast, secure relational database: Oracle Database. This presentation introduces attendees to Oracle Database 12c features that make it easy to work with JSON in the database, through PL/SQL, and to publish REST APIs to those PL/SQL calls. https://oracle.com/plsql
