STOR

Introduction

STOR is a multiplatform server-less*, embeddable** NoSQL Document Store written in C++11.

(*), (**) Similar to SQLite, STOR does not operate in a client-server scenario. Rather, you include it/link to it in your project and it works within a single process.

The major features are the following:
  • Create/Modify/Delete JSON Documents
  • Create Databases that persist the spanning process, or get deleted on destruction.
  • Manage Collections of Documents
  • Index Documents by their fields
  • Query Documents by their IDs
  • Query Documents by indexed fields, with MongoDB-like query syntax.
  • Back-up/Restore Databases.
  • Optionally encrypt a Database, by compiling with OpenSSL support and providing a key.
  • C Bindings
  • Python Bindings + REPL

License

Both STOR and the bindings are released with the BSD-2-Clause License.
