Tot is a database file format for managing string data in a file. I would like to say markup-like database without indexing. It is using stream and position to efficiently track where the data is. And it is designed to handle massive data. But developer has full control over limitting the size of data in one tag. Eg. 65536 bytes in one tag. Tot is for replacing some jobs that database, JSON and XML do.
PLEASE USE THE LATEST VERSION.
- Now
Clean()will not create extra.tmpfile for reserving changes. It still creates 1.tmpfile as a backup for safety. GetMultipleData()is nowGetMultiple()please update them. Queued version is changed as well. Change toQGetMultiple().SaveDictAsTot(),SaveListAsTot(),QSaveDictAsTot(),QSaveListAsTot(),GetAllByDict(),GetAllByList,QGetAllByDict()andQGetAllByList.
In the future, GetAll() may get deprecated or changed. Try GetAllByDict(), GetAllByList, QGetAllByDict() and QGetAllByList for your project.
Some cases Tot can cause lots of writing. It is sill better than writing whole file every time. I recommend avoid using HardRemove() or HardUpdate(). They only exist for small files. It is always better when we modify small data with Update() and Remove(). And use Clean() like once a day, a week or a month.
Please read the rule of format for more information about Tot file format.
Tot CS is built with .net 8.0 and Windows 10. I cannot guarantee that this will work in older versions of Windows or other OS and with other tools.
