tinybox

Tiny, single file, scalable key value store based on HAMTs

npm install tinybox

Uses the Hypertrie trie without the replication parts, and auto compacts.

Still under development but the storage format should be stable. Upcoming features include batching, deletions and getting all values out of the store.

Usage

const TinyBox = require('tinybox')

const db = new TinyBox('./db')

db.put('hello', 'world', function () {
  db.get('hello', console.log)
})

API

db = new TinyBox(storage)

Create a new tiny store. Storage can be any random-access-storage instance. For conveinience you can pass a filename as storage as well.

db.get(key, callback)

Looks up a value. Key can be a buffer or string. If the key does not exist null is passed, otherwise the a Node object looking like this:

{
  key: <key as a buffer>,
  value: <value stored>
}

db.put(key, [value], [callback])

Insert a key and optional value.
