                    The X DevAPI is the new common API for MySQL Connectors built on the X Protocol introduced in MySQL 5.7.12. 
 
The X DevAPI wraps powerful concepts in a simple API. 
* A new high-level session concept enables you to write code that can transparently scale from single MySQL Server to a multiple server environment. 
* Read operations are simple and easy to understand. 
 
The X DevAPI introduces a new, modern and easy-to-learn way to work with your data. 
* Documents are stored in Collections and have their dedicated CRUD operation set. 
* Work with your existing domain objects or generate code based on structure definitions for strictly typed languages. 
* Focus is put on working with data via CRUD operations. See Section 3.1, “CRUD Operations Overview”. 
* Modern practices and syntax styles are used to get away from traditional SQL-String-Building. See Chapter 10, Building Expressions. |
