Hi,
The two field group JSON's can be found here: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/WLX70Xld#link
One of them has lots of WYSIWYG fields, the other - lots of groups.
On the same topic, related to my first question about performance:
I've done more testing exploring alternatives to my initial idea about using a flexible content setup. As an alternative I've been assessing the possibility of normalizing our database structure using MB Custom Tables.
As the docs suggest all group data is serialized using the PHP serialize function. Is there any feasible way of changing the method of serialization to JSON encode?
To add context: my main concern is that using PHP serialize locks us into a programming language and would obstruct the effort to normalize the database structure, making the data reusable in other cms's/front ends/apps. IMOuUsing a more standardized, language agnostic serialization method for arrays would likely future-proof the chosen architecture. Also changing text using DB search&replace in in JSON arrays shouldn't break the serialized data structures as opposed to doing that for PHP serialized data, which would still make the JSON arrays more reusable even in a flexible content arrangement.
I know that PHP serialize is WP's legacy, but maybe there's a feasible way nonetheless?
Thanks for any pointers.
