Our Philosophy: Control and Flexibility

In a world of one-size-fits-all solutions, ValtheraDB is different. We believe that you, the developer, should have the final say on how your data is managed. Our core philosophy is built on two pillars:

* Unmatched Modularity: The storage engine is just a plugin. Don't like JSON files? Use a single binary file, YAML, localStorage`, or invent your own format. ValtheraDB's architecture is designed to adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
* Pragmatic Power: We provide powerful features like cross-database relations and a rich query API, but we keep it simple. ValtheraDB is designed for small to medium-sized applications where a custom-fit and developer experience are more important than supporting massive datasets.

Who is ValtheraDB for?

ValtheraDB is a great fit if you are:

* A Node.js or Bun developer building a backend and wanting an easy-to-use, embedded database without the overhead of a separate database server.
* A frontend developer creating a Progressive Web App (PWA) that needs offline capabilities or complex client-side storage.
* An Electron developer who needs a straightforward way to store data locally in a desktop application.
* A creative coder who wants to experiment with unconventional storage methods for your projects.

In short, if you value flexibility and control over rigid conventions, you'll feel right at home.

Key Features at a Glance

* 🧱 Pluggable Storage Engine: Bring your own storage adapter.
