!alt CI-badge
LokiJS is a document oriented database written in javascript, published under MIT License.
Its purpose is to store javascript objects as documents in a nosql fashion and retrieve them with a similar mechanism.
Runs in node (including cordova/phonegap and node-webkit), nativescript and the browser.
LokiJS is ideal for the following scenarios:
1. client-side in-memory db is ideal (e.g., a session store)
2. performance critical applications
3. cordova/phonegap mobile apps where you can leverage the power of javascript and avoid interacting with native databases
4. data sets loaded into a browser page and synchronised at the end of the work session
5. node-webkit desktop apps
6. nativescript mobile apps that mix the power and ubiquity of javascript with native performance and ui
LokiJS supports indexing and views and achieves high-performance through maintaining unique and binary indexes (indices) for data.
The following demos are available:
- Sandbox / Playground
- a node-webkit small demo in the folder demos/desktop_app. You can launch it by running /path/to/nw demos/desktop_app/
Example usage can be found on the wiki
1. Fast performance NoSQL in-memory database, collections with unique index (1.1M ops/s) and binary-index (500k ops/s)
2. Runs in multiple environments (browser, node, nativescript)
3. Dynamic Views for fast access of data subsets
4. Built-in persistence adapters, and the ability to support user-defined ones
5. Changes API
6. Joins
LokiJS is at version 1.3 [Eostre].
As LokiJS is written in JavaScript it can be run on any environment supporting JavaScript such as browsers, node.js/node-webkit, nativescript mobile framework and hybrid mobile apps (such as phonegap/cordova).
