Allocator-free document oriented database management, heavily inspired by TinyDB.

zdb is inspired by TinyDB, meaning this library also utilises JSON files as its main storage. zdb is also designed and meant to go hand-in-hand with zorm, interoperable with one another.

The architecture of this database design has been shrinked for maximising efficiency and optimisation strategies.

Here's a mockup example for a lack of better words:

Database {
    Table {
        Item {
            T (type)
            v (T) -> undefined
        }

        size (u64) -> undefined
        items (array of Item)

        search(T or expr)
        add(T or expr)
        remove(T or expr)
        clear(?T)
    }

    tables (array of Table) -> undefined
}

Query {
    where(expr) !Item
    exists(T) !bool
}

Simplicity and ease-of-use are the primary goals of zdb. You may not want to use this if:

• You need the database cached during realtime
• Are seeking to use your own alloc for memory allocation
• Needing to hook in-between transactions with middleware

zdb runs on 0.11.0-dev and higher versions of Zig.

It is recommended to install and build from source:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/ziglibs/zdb
$ cd ./zdb
$ zig build
