RedisJSON - a JSON data type for Redis
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:330 reviews, 44 commits, 35 PRs in 1 year 9 months
Contributions summary:Meir primarily contributed to enhancing the functionality of the RedisJSON data type for Redis. Their work involved implementing multi-result support for `json.get`, which required modifications to the core `redisjson.rs` file, including serialization logic. They also introduced a generic JSON path implementation and refined the C API, specifically related to the LLAPI, to support multiple JSON path results. Additionally, they focused on optimizing the setting of root values.
