So I’m going to be working on a home made blog system in PHP and I was wondering which way of storing data is the fastest. I could go in the MySQL direction, or I could go with my own little way of doing it which is storing all of the information (encoded in JSON) in files.
Which way would be the fastest, MySQL or JSON files?
I would choose a MySQL database – simply because it’s easier to manage.
JSON is not really a format for storage, it’s for sending data to JavaScripts. If you want to store data in files look into XML or Serialized PHP (which I suspect is what you are after, rather than JSON).
