SydJS: Complex queries with simple JavaScript
We’ve been enjoying a good run of meetups with a focus on AI, so it’s a great time for a palette cleanser.
This month a long time friend of SydJS is introducing us to library he’s been working on to do what JavaScript does so well — simplifying complexity.
JSMQL is a subset of JavaScript that compiles to MongoDB MQL, so you use the syntax you know to compile queries you need.
Vasyl Boroviak saw an opportunity when MongoDB 8.0 deprecated server side JavaScript, and he’s taking the opportunity to show us how he replaced that lost functionality.
