# Store JSON in Active-Active databases













RedisJSON v2.2 adds support for JSON in [Active-Active Redis Enterprise databases](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/active-active).

The design is based on [A Conflict-Free Replicated JSON Datatype](http://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03960) by Kleppmann and Beresford, but the implementation includes some changes. Several [conflict resolution rule](#conflict-resolution-rules) examples were adapted from this paper as well.

## Create an Active-Active JSON database

To use JSON in an Active-Active database, you must enable JSON during database creation.

Active-Active Redis Cloud databases add JSON by default. See [Create an Active-Active database](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-active-active-database#select-capabilities) in the Redis Cloud documentation for details.

In Redis Enterprise Software, JSON is not enabled by default for Active-Active databases. To create an Active-Active JSON database in Redis Enterprise Software:

1. See [Create an Active-Active geo-replicated database](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/active-active/create) in the Redis Enterprise Software documentation for prerequisites and detailed steps.

1. In the **Capabilities** section of the **Create Active-Active database** screen, select **JSON**:

    

    
When you select **JSON**, **Search and Query** is also selected by default to allow you to index and query JSON documents. If you do not want to use these additional features, you can clear the **Search and Query** check box.
    

1. Configure additional database settings.

1. Select **Create**.
