Links: slides
Examples and performance measurements: postgres / MySQL

You don't need a NoSQL database to work with JSON

Postgres and MySQL have powerful capabilities to work with JSON. This allows you to combine the flexibility of less structured data with the proven reliability of those popular relational databases. I will show how to leverage the various JSON functions to work with JSON data inside a relational database.

Visit the git repository for example code and performance test data and see the changes needed for MySQL.
