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.

Query Execution Engines - Implements a high-performance query execution engine for indexed searches and data retrieval.

B-Tree - Uses B-Tree structures to organize document keys and fields for efficient range queries and lookups.

Write-Ahead Logging - Ensures ACID compliance and data durability by recording mutations to a write-ahead log.

Local Database Security - Protects sensitive information in local database files using built-in encryption.

Binary Object Storage - Provides specialized storage for large binary blobs to prevent document fragmentation.

Application Persistence - Enables local persistence of application settings and user data using a serverless model.

Binary Data Streaming - Provides a specialized storage mechanism for streaming binary data that exceeds standard document size limits.

Database Page Caching - Implements a page-based memory management system to reduce disk I/O via fixed-size block caching.

Attribute-Based Mappings - Implements attribute-based object mapping to automate the translation of .NET classes into document fields.

Data Encryption - Ships built-in cryptographic protection to secure the database file on disk from unauthorized access.

Encrypted Database Managers - Implements a password-protected, encrypted file system for securing local database data at rest.

Database Administration Interfaces - Includes a dedicated administrative studio for the visual exploration and modification of database documents.

Data Storage - Embedded NoSQL document store.

Database Engines - Single-file NoSQL document store.

Databases and Storage - Single-file NoSQL document store for .NET.
