mbdavid/LiteDB
LiteDB
LiteDB is a serverless, embedded NoSQL document database for .NET applications. It persists data into a single portable file, functioning as a BSON data store that resides within the application process rather than running as a separate server.
The system is ACID compliant, utilizing write-ahead logging to ensure atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable transactions. It includes built-in encryption to provide secure local data storage and protect files on disk from unauthorized access.
The project covers object-document mapping to convert classes into document formats, indexed search capabilities via B-tree indexing, and specialized streaming for large binary objects. It also provides a dedicated administrative studio for visual data administration and modification.
Features
- Embedded Databases - Provides a lightweight, serverless NoSQL document store that runs directly within the application process.
- Single-File Persistence - Persists the entire database and its metadata within a single portable binary file.
- BSON - Utilizes BSON binary JSON format for compact and efficient document serialization.
- Document Mappings - Provides a fluent mapping interface and attribute-based system to convert .NET classes into documents.
- ACID Transactional Cores - Provides a storage engine with atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable transaction processing.
- Embedded Storage Engines - Operates as a lightweight embedded storage engine for local file-based NoSQL data.
- Database Transactions - Provides ACID-compliant transaction management to ensure data integrity and recovery.
- NoSQL Schema Mappings - Converts .NET classes into flexible document formats for easy storage and retrieval.
- Document Stores - Functions as a serverless embedded NoSQL document store for .NET applications.
- BSON Storage Engines - Implements a NoSQL database using binary JSON (BSON) to map objects to documents.
