Discuss the concept of NoSQL
NoSQL databases referred to as "Not SQL" databases, are a type of database management system that differs from traditional relational databases in several important ways.
They are specifically designed to handle amounts of semi structured data and are particularly suitable for use cases where data models evolve or where scalability and flexibility are crucial.
Unlike databases that rely on structures and fixed schemas No SQL databases have the ability to store and retrieve data in various formats such as JSON, XML, key value pairs and document oriented models.
