Headlines

RedisJSON 2.6 introduces support for RESP3 and new commands.

What's new in 2.6

• Introduce JSON.MERGE in compliance with RFC 7396, supporting:

  • Creating new attributes on an existing JSON document

  • Updating and replacing values in parent and child attributes

  • Deleting existing attributes (by setting the value to null)

  • Array update - replacing an entire array with the new value

• Introduce JSON.MSET, supporting atomic multiple sets for keys in the same hash slot

• New FORMAT argument in JSON.ARRPOP and JSON.GET to retrieve the results as JSON strings or RESP3 hierarchical structures (RESP3 only)

• JSON.RESP is now regarded as deprecated

• Legacy paths (paths that don't start with either $. or $[ or equal to $), except those starting with ., are now deprecated
