Question: Can you store XML in DynamoDB?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, it is possible to store XML in DynamoDB. One way to do this is to convert the XML to a JSON format, which can then be stored as a string in a DynamoDB field.
Another way is to store the XML as a binary data type in a DynamoDB field. However, it is important to note that DynamoDB is a NoSQL database optimized for fast reads and writes of large amounts of data, but it is not well suited for handling complex data structures like XML.
