Well, since 100k titles would make a pretty big database, at least storing the metadata like years, seasons, genres etc as hardcoded could make it run faster than going full-fledged JSON, at least I meant that. However this will be an open source project and there will be localizations, so now it doesn't look like a good idea to me somehow.
What? What do you mean full-fledged JSON. I won't be storing the animes in JSON, but in a PostgreSQL DB. I don't understand what you mean...
Sorry for the confusion. Don't take my words literally, I'm not an expert on databases. I use JSON for my job and it's enough for me, so use what database your project needs. But by full-fledged I meant completely leaning on databases which may slow some things down for the server side. However I now checked PostgreSQL and it seems much better for large datasets, so I don't think that would be a concern for you.
Oh, I see. Ok, I get it now. JSON indeed would be very slow for this project. I also do think of maybe caching some stuff for this reason.
Yeah, that would be nice for the running seasons I guess. Maybe even a couple years worth seasons since most of the traffic will come from those.
Yep, that's what I was thinking.
