#744.
LokiJS
Overview
LokiJS is a document oriented database written in javascript, published under
MIT License. Its purpose is to store javascript objects as documents in a nosql
fashion and retrieve them with a similar mechanism. Runs in node (including
cordova/phonegap and node-webkit), nativescript
and the browser. LokiJS is ideal for the following scenarios:
- client-side in-memory db is ideal (e.g., a session store)
- performance critical applications
- cordova/phonegap mobile apps where you can leverage the power of javascript
and avoid interacting with native databases
- data sets loaded into a browser page and synchronised at the end of the work
session
- node-webkit desktop apps
- nativescript mobile apps that mix the power and ubiquity of javascript with
native performance and ui
LokiJS supports indexing and views and achieves high-performance through
maintaining unique and binary indexes (indices) for data.
Demo
The following demos are available:
- Sandbox / Playground
- a node-webkit small demo in the folder demos/desktop_app. You can launch it by
running
/path/to/nw demos/desktop_app/
Wiki
Example usage can be found on the
wiki
Main Features
- Fast performance NoSQL in-memory database, collections with unique index
(1.1M ops/s) and binary-index (500k ops/s)
