JSON Databases have passed relational in popularity? I don't know that I believe that.

Anyone know if there's a NoSQL/SQL market share comparison out there?

They are becoming popular but there is no way they surpass relational databases in use.

That brings up an interesting question of where the line of what is a database gets drawn. Does a JSON interface to a CRUD application that uses a relational database behind the scenes count as a JSON database? A part of me thinks it should. CouchDB positioned itself with a JSON API that allowed you to skip the CRUD middleware, so from the API consuming point of view there is essentially no difference.

I honestly can't believe this comment is all the way down here. What a bubble we live in sometimes.

I'd be surprised if it was much above 1%.
