Comments:"UnQLite - An Embeddable NoSQL Database Engine"
UnQLite is a in-process software library which implements a self-contained,serverless, zero-configuration, transactional NoSQL database engine. UnQLite is a document store database similar to MongoDB,Redis, CouchDB etc. as well a standard Key/Value store similar to BerkeleyDB,LevelDB, etc.
UnQLite is an embedded NoSQL (Key/Value store and Document-store) database engine. Unlike most other NoSQL databases, UnQLite does not have a separate server process. UnQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete database with multiple collections, is contained in a single disk file. The database file format is cross-platform, you can freely copy a database between 32-bit and 64-bit systems or between big-endian and little-endian architectures. UnQLite features includes:
UnQLite is a self-contained C library without dependency. It requires very minimal support from external libraries or from the operating system. This makes it well suited for use in embedded devices that lack the support infrastructure of a desktop computer. This also makes UnQLite appropriate for use within applications that need to run without modification on a wide variety of computers of varying configurations.
UnQLite is 100% hand-coded, written in ANSI C, Thread-safe, Full reentrant, compiles unmodified and should run in most platforms including restricted embedded devices with a C compiler. UnQLite is extensively tested on Windows and UNIX systems especially Linux, FreeBSD, Oracle Solaris and Mac OS X.
UnQLite is a standard key/value store similar to BerkeleyDB, LevelDB, etc. but, with a rich feature set including support for transactions (ACID), concurrent reader, etc. Under the KV store, both keys and values are treated as simple arrays of bytes, so content can be anything from ASCII strings, binary blob and even disk files. The KV store layer is presented to host applications via a set of interfaces, these includes: unqlite_kv_store(), unqlite_kv_append(),unqlite_kv_fetch_callback(), unqlite_kv_append_fmt(), unqlite_kv_delete(), etc.
TheDocument store interface to UnQLite which is used to store JSON docs (i.e. Objects, Arrays, Strings, etc.) in the database is powered by the Jx9 programming language. Jx9 is an embeddable scripting language also called extension language designed to support general procedural programming with data description facilities. Jx9 is a Turing-Complete, dynamically typed programming language based on JSON and implemented as a library in the UnQLite core.
Finally, UnQLite is an open-source product release under the 2-Clause BSD license. See the license page for additional information.
