Data Types

RushDB supports a wide range of data types to accommodate diverse data needs and provide a flexible environment for your applications. Below is a comprehensive list of the supported data types along with their descriptions:

string​

This data type is used for any textual information and can hold text of unlimited length.

number​

This data type accommodates both floating-point numbers and integers. For instance, it can handle values like -120.209817 (a float) or 42 (an integer).

datetime​

This data type adheres to the ISO 8601 format, including timezones. For example: 2012-12-21T18:29:37Z.

boolean​

This data type can only have two possible values: true or false.

null​

This data type has only one possible value: null.

Arrays​

In essence, RushDB supports all the data types that JSON does. However, when it comes to arrays, RushDB can indeed hold them as Property values, but it's important to note that it can only store consistent values within those arrays. To learn more, check out the Properties section.

Here some valid examples:

  • ["apple", "banana", "carrot"] - good
  • [null, null, null, null, null] - wierd, but works fine 🤔
  • [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42] - works as well
  • ["2023-09-17T02:47:54+04:00", "1990-08-18T04:35:00+05:00"] - also good
  • [true, false, true, false, true] - love is an answer (🌼)
