⪼ Made with 💜 by Polyglot.
Perhaps one of the best parts of hstore is that you can index on it. In particular Postgres gin and gist indexes allow you to index all keys and values within an hstore. A talk by Christophe Pettus of PgExperts actually highlights some performance details of hstore with indexes. To give away the big punchline in several cases hstore with gin/gist beats mongodb in performance.
