Step 3

Build an application in popular programming languages

Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) is a set of NoSQL-style APIs that let developers create and store JSON documents natively in Oracle Database. Developers can perform create, read (retrieve), update, and delete (CRUD) operations without needing to know Structured Query Language (SQL). The SODA APIs support popular programming languages and the representational state transfer (REST) architecture.
