The blog post discusses the introduction of the Sub-document API in Couchbase Server 4.5 and its integration with the .NET SDK 2.3.x, enabling more efficient data manipulation by allowing partial updates to documents, rather than handling entire documents for each change. This API supports operations on individual elements, arrays, and dictionaries, and provides a fluent interface for chaining multiple operations, which are executed atomically. It introduces two builder types: MutateInBuilder for mutations and LookupInBuilder for read operations, each supporting various methods like insertions, removals, counter operations, and checks for the existence of elements. The blog also provides detailed code examples and explains error handling, emphasizing the API's ability to perform transactional updates. The post concludes with information on obtaining the latest .NET SDK version and encourages reader engagement for further questions or comments.
