The idea was to transfer data from a Mongodb to a MySQL db to fulfill some business requirements. I needed to apply some transformations on the JSONs and validation. Each record was to be decomposed and normalized into multiple tables. I needed to Update or Insert a record depending on some conditions.

In this blog I hope to demonstrate some of the functionality I’ve already baked into Json-Transqlify and some of the other ideas I’m working on.

I came across an interesting usecase awhile ago and I think it’s worth sharing. Let’s say you are building a blog, and you need to display on the home page an excerpts foreach of the most recent articles (blog teaser). In a nutshell you have an article and you need an algorithm to generate a short description (excerpt) for it,
I can think of few approaches to tackle this problem:
