BSON. Massive duplication of object keys in requests and responses at least.

Also reminds me of tnetstrings and Bencode.

> BSON. Massive duplication of object keys in requests and responses at least.

Can you expand on this, please? Why is BSON bad?

Duplication of keys like name and address in {"name": "Test", "address": "1234 Main St."} - it will have name and address in each record, whereas in SQL it isn't in the data, although it's in the queries.
