MySQL 5.7.12 brings out a new interface to MySQL. This should have several benefits, and one use case is for the MySQL document store. There are APIs for several main supported languages. There is some documentation of how this new protocol works. If your language is not in those supported at the moment by Oracle is it possible to talk over the wire using the new protocol? This is a talk about my voyage of reading the documentation and using it to use the X protocol "natively" (without existing drivers) to talk to MySQL.
