I have large maps that include nodes as entry values. I want to persist these maps in the DB for subsequent retrieval.

I believe the best/only strategy is:

Construct a new map where each node in a value is replaced by its node-id() value.
Serialize the map to JSON and store as a blob

To reconstitute it, do the reverse (parse JSON into map, replace node-ids() with nodes).

Is my analysis correct? Have I missed any detail or better approach?

Thanks,

Eliot
