library5.1.7jsnpmunverified

JembaDb is a tiny, embeddable, append-only JSON database for Node.js v16.16.0+. Current version 5.1.7, actively maintained. Unlike full-featured databases, it focuses on simplicity: append-only logging and in-memory queries. Ideal for small projects, configuration, or logging scenarios where a full database is overkill.
