Objects in Tallyfy Answers serve as JSON-formatted data records with unique identifiers that can be flexibly structured indexed and searched within collections while supporting both custom and auto-generated IDs for efficient data management.
Collections
Collections in Tallyfy Answers are organizational structures that group similar objects together. Each collection functions like a table in a relational database, allowing objects to be compared, filtered, searched, and ranked.
A collection is:
- A logical container for related objects
- Similar to a table in a traditional database
- Designed for organizing data with similar structures
- Flexible enough to adapt as your data evolves
Collections in Tallyfy Answers offer several key features:
- Dynamic schema detection: The system automatically identifies data types from your objects
- Efficient organization: Group related objects to simplify management
- Searchability: Search across all objects within a collection
- Scalability: Collections can contain thousands of objects
- Metadata: Store and retrieve information about the collection itself
Tallyfy Answers provides comprehensive collection management capabilities:
- Create a collection - Set up a new data container
- Get a collection - Retrieve details about a specific collection
- Get all collections - List all your collections
- Update a collection - Modify collection properties
- Delete a collection - Remove a collection and its objects
Consider these guidelines when working with collections:
- Use clear, descriptive names for your collections
- Group similar objects with consistent structures
- Create separate collections for significantly different data types
- Plan your collection structure before importing large datasets
- Use collection names that reflect the objects they contain
