Abstract
The X Developer Application Programming Interface, or X DevAPI, is a library of classes and methods that implement a new NoSQL interface for MySQL. To be specific, the X DevAPI is designed to allow easy interaction with JSON documents and relational data. The X DevAPI has classes devoted to supporting both concepts allowing developers to use either (or both) in their applications. The X DevAPI together with the X Protocol, X Plugin, and clients written to expose the X DevAPI, forms the new MySQL 8 Document Store feature.

Notes
- 1.
The current release of Connector/Python does not support the syntax.

Sadly, this is sometimes called a result set in the documentation and blogs, which may be confusing because result set is a common term used in relational data to mean the same thing as data set. When working with the X DevAPI, it is best to think result set and data set as synonyms.

Equivalent in principle to a primary key (such as an auto increment column).
- 5.
Extended Backus-Naar form is a style of diagraming used to document context-free grammars. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form .

For more information about anonymous parameters, see the SELECT Syntax section in the MySQL online reference manual.

One of the things I disliked about the older code in the server was most methods returned a 0 or 1 passing objects and variables by pointers for returning data. Method chaining is far more elegant and useful for writing applications quickly.
