Question

Greetings,

I want to store some data in a redis db and don’t know which way I should go. The data is equivalent to something like an address with the variables name, street and number. They will be stored under the lower cased name as key, there won’t be doublets.

Now, should I save it as a list or should I serialize the hash ({:name => 'foo', :street => 'bar', :number => 'baz'} for example) with JSON/Marshall and simply store that?

Regards

Tobias

Using an encoded json object is a pretty good idea. You can see some examples in hurl — check out how the models are saved.

Redis hashes are nice too, especially if you need atomic operations on hash values.
