title: MySQL vs. JSON - Why?
body: <p>I'm designing a little web-app/game. What would be better: MySQL tables or json files? They both store information. They can both be parsed by PHP. What are the advantages/disadvantages?</p>
  <p>This is what I mean:</p>
  <pre><code>username | password
  -------------------
  seefour  | abc123
  </code></pre>
  <p>vs.</p>
  <pre><code>{
    &quot;username&quot;:&quot;seefour&quot;,
    &quot;password&quot;:&quot;abc123&quot;
  }
  </code></pre>
