Unlike earlier, more narrowly focused products, FlexVertex™ is a complete information management platform designed from the start to address all the data requirements of modern applications. In many cases, the architects of these systems elect to make extensive use of semi-structured and non-structured data rather than being forced to comply with the rigidly defined row-and-column mandates imposed by relational databases.

Documents - routinely encoded in JSON - are one of the most popular ways to store this type of information. FlexVertex offers a comprehensive collection of document-oriented capabilities and can serve as a standalone document database if you wish.  

However, as a side benefit, all the unique FlexVertex™ Data Multiverse™ features are automatically available from documents. For example, not only can you embed documents within higher-level documents or link them to others, you’re also free to insert them into graph vertices or edges. You can even use a document as a starting point to traverse a larger graph.
