db-in-json
Advanced tools
DB_in_JSON is a Python library designed to provide a simple and lightweight solution for managing data using JSON files. It offers basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for collections of data, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval.
You can install DB_in_JSON with PyPI with the command :
pip install DB_in_JSON
Here's a simple example of how to use DB_in_JSON:
from db_in_json import DB
# Create a database (create the file if needed)
db = DB('DB.json')
# Get a collection (create it if it doesn't exist)
test_collection = db.getCollection('test_collection')
# Insert data into the collection
insert_uuid = test_collection.queries['insert']('Some good data')
# Select data from the collection
selected_items = test_collection.queries['select'](lambda uuid, data: True)
# Update data in the collection
updated_amt = test_collection.queries['update'](lambda uuid, data: True, 'Another updated data')
# Delete data from the collection
deleted_amt = test_collection.queries['delete'](lambda uuid, data: True)
