I checked the base_sparse_field module and the fields and models py files from that module and understands the basic definition of it. But does anyone has the usage of the sparse field serialisations ? Or where we can use it ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
 
Sparse, or serialized fields do not live as a column in the database table. Instead, their values are stored in JSON arrays in a separate field. As a result, these fields cannot be searched or sorted by. If such a sparse field is created as 'manual', this module can unserialize the field.
 
fields.serialized: Serialized field is used to store data in a field in a json dump

fields.sparse: Sparse field uses a serialized field to store a field in the json dump instead of a normal database column.
