MySQL Connector/J 8.0 Developer Guide
Connector/J 8.0 supports the X DevAPI, through which native support by MySQL 8.0 for JSON, NoSQL, document collection, and other features are provided to Java applications. See Using MySQL as a Document Store, the X DevAPI User Guide, and the Connector/J X DevAPI Reference available at Connectors and APIs for details.
