Nested object in redis from node.js?

[Nineballo]

I use a redis database in my program for simple key storage and I wanted to move my .json log file to the redis server for simplicity sake.  My question is, how do you store nested objects in redis?

Redis is flat. You can either flatten the object (think JSON.stringify) or break it up into separate hash tables (ex. https://redislabs.com/redis-best-practices/data-storage-patterns/object-hash-storage/). 

 

ps: the flat module for npm is nifty.

For anyone in the future, I ended up turning the object into a string with JSON.stringify(obj) saving it to redis, and whenever I wanted it I just did JSON.parse(result) on the saved object/result to turn it back into an object.
