Databases using JSON as storage/transport format

How many database systems there are that use JSON for storage or transport? I know of:

I remember I saw yet another vendor in a SO user's profile. That systems was using what they called binary JSON, but I can't remember the name of the product.

Lately, it appears that more and more DB projects are looking towards JSON for persistence storage. Some of them are even embracing HTTP as a transport layer.

Persevere is another DB that is loaded up with JSON:

http://www.persvr.org/

Primary transport is JSON HTTP/REST

Data is stored as JSON

It has a native JS/JSON client for running directly from the browser.

If you want a schema then it is defined using JSON
