And if you create a table with a single ID column and a single JSON column you’ve essentially re-invented a NoSQL database. But I guess you can pretend it isn’t.

And it’s a lot worse and the tooling isn’t as robust...

And the tooling around it? For instance the Mongo C# Linq driver can translate LINQ to MongoQuery.

I haven't used myself but have heard good things: http://jasperfx.github.io/marten/documentation/documents/que...

I've been using this in production for around 1 year - it's an absolute dream to use!

For context, I've previous experience with NHibernate, EF, EF Core, Dapper and some others from yesteryear - Marten is probably the best dev experience I've had from an ORM.

They added Json fields to mssql too, didn't make it a mongo killer.
