EJDB

Embedded JSON Database engine

It aims to be a fast MongoDB-like library which can be embedded into C/C++, .Net, NodeJS, Python, Lua, Go, Java and Ruby applications under terms of LGPL license.

EJDB is the C library based on modified version of Tokyo Cabinet.

JSON representation of queries and data implemented with API based on C BSON

Queries

/**
 * Create query object.
 * Sucessfully created queries must be destroyed with ejdbquerydel().
 *
 * EJDB queries inspired by MongoDB (mongodb.org) and follows same philosophy.
 *
 *  - Supported queries:
 *      - Simple matching of String OR Number OR Array value:
 *          -   {'fpath' : 'val', ...}
 *      - $not Negate operation.
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$not' : val}} //Field not equal to val
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$not' : {'$begin' : prefix}}} //Field not begins with val
 *      - $begin String starts with prefix
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$begin' : prefix}}
 *      - $gt, $gte (>, >=) and $lt, $lte for number types:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$gt' : number}, ...}
 *      - $bt Between for number types:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$bt' : [num1, num2]}}
 *      - $in String OR Number OR Array val matches to value in specified array:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$in' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
 *      - $nin - Not IN
 *      - $strand String tokens OR String array val matches all tokens in specified array:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$strand' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
 *      - $stror String tokens OR String array val matches any token in specified array:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$stror' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
 *      - $exists Field existence matching:
 *          -   {'fpath' : {'$exists' : true|false}}
 *      - $icase Case insensitive string matching:
 *          -    {'fpath' : {'$icase' : 'val1'}} //icase matching
 *          Ignore case matching with '$in' operation:
 *          -    {'name' : {'$icase' : {'$in' : ['tHéâtre - театр', 'heLLo WorlD']}}}
 *          For case insensitive matching you can create special index of type: `JBIDXISTR`
 *     - $elemMatch The $elemMatch operator matches more than one component within an array element.
 *          -  { array: { $elemMatch: { value1 : 1, value2 : { $gt: 1 } } } }
 *          Restriction: only one $elemMatch allowed in context of one array field.
 *
 *  - Queries can be used to update records:
 *       $set Field set operation.
 *           - {.., '$set' : {'field1' : val1, 'fieldN' : valN}}
 *       $upsert Atomic upsert. If matching records are found it will be '$set' operation,
 *              otherwise new record will be inserted with fields specified by argment object.
 *           - {.., '$upsert' : {'field1' : val1, 'fieldN' : valN}}
 *       $inc Increment operation. Only number types are supported.
 *           - {.., '$inc' : {'field1' : number, ...,  'field1' : number}
 *       $dropall In-place record removal operation.
 *           - {.., '$dropall' : true}
 *       $addToSet Atomically adds value to the array only if its not in the array already.
 *                    If containing array is missing it will be created.
 *           - {.., '$addToSet' : {'fpath' : val1, 'fpathN' : valN, ...}}
 *       $addToSetAll Batch version if $addToSet
 *           - {.., '$addToSetAll' : {'fpath' : [array of values to add], ...}}
 *       $pull Atomically removes all occurrences of value from field, if field is an array.
 *           - {.., '$pull' : {'fpath' : val1, 'fpathN' : valN, ...}}
 *       $pullAll Batch version of $pull
 *           - {.., '$pullAll' : {'fpath' : [array of values to remove], ...}}
 *
 *  NOTE: Negate operations: $not and $nin not using indexes
 *  so they can be slow in comparison to other matching operations.
 *
 *  NOTE: Only one index can be used in search query operation.
 *
 *  QUERY HINTS (specified by `hints` argument):
 *      - $max Maximum number in the result set
 *      - $skip Number of skipped results in the result set
 *      - $orderby Sorting order of query fields.
 *      - $fields Set subset of fetched fields
            If a field presented in $orderby clause it will be forced to include in resulting records.
 *          Example:
 *          hints:    {
 *                      "$orderby" : { //ORDER BY field1 ASC, field2 DESC
 *                          "field1" : 1,
 *                          "field2" : -1
 *                      },
 *                      "$fields" : { //SELECT ONLY {_id, field1, field2}
 *                          "field1" : 1,
 *                          "field2" : 1
 *                      }
 *                    }
 *
 * Many query examples can be found in `testejdb/t2.c` test case.
 *
 * @param EJDB database handle.
 * @param qobj Main BSON query object.
 * @param orqobjs Array of additional OR query objects (joined with OR predicate).
 * @param orqobjsnum Number of OR query objects.
 * @param hints BSON object with query hints.
 * @return On success return query handle. On error returns NULL.

EJDB C Samples

EJDB database files structure

.
├── <dbname>
├── <dbname>_<collection1>
├── ...
├── <dbname>_<collectionN>
└── <dbname>_<collectionN>_<fieldpath>.<index ext>

Where

  • <dbname> - name of database. It is metadata DB.
  • <collectionN> - name of collection. Collection database.
  • <fieldpath> - JSON field path used in index
  • <index ext> - Collection index extension:
    • .lex String index
    • .dec Number index
    • .tok Array index

Limitations

  • One ejdb database can handle up to 1024 collections.
  • Indexes for objects in nested arrays currently not supported (#37)

TODO

  • Collect collection index statistic
