Your code uses variables of primitive and composite types - integers, strings, booleans and arrays, maps, sets, enumerations, objects, etc. So does mishmash io.

Everything you store in mishmash io is then accessible as a variable inside your application. You can use it according to all the rules of your programming language - the rules you're already familiar with.

A typical database applies conditional operators in boolean expressions to select a result set. mishmash io gives you statements and flow control too.

In essence, you give it an algorithm of what it should do. Loop over lists, walk trees or anything of any complexity. If it can be written in your programming language - mishmash io lets you use it as a query.

Rather than using one database for text search, another one for graph, time series, geo spatial or even DNA sequences - put it all inside mishmash io.

It is your application's Data Structures and algorithms that matter, not your database's.

mishmash io is distributed and so is your application.

Anything you ask it to do will be broken down into jobs according to where input data is. Then it will be run in parallel at massive scale.

Combine all of mishmash io powers to relate by equality and similarity, uncover patterns in data and build complex predictive models.
