TinyDB is a lightweight, document-oriented database and embedded NoSQL engine. It stores data as documents in local files, providing a persistence layer that operates without a separate server process.
The system is an extensible document store featuring a middleware architecture. This allows for the customization of storage backends and the interception of data operations to transform how information is stored and retrieved.
The database manages unstructured data using JSON-based serialization and supports pluggable storage backends for local file persistence.
