"database"

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi, I love the work but I have a question: Is this really a database? As far as I can read the code, this just opens/reads/writes JSON files.

Not a "database" in the traditional sense, it's more of a simple flat file "storage system". It's a "database" in the very loose sense that it "stores data".

A database is an organized collection of data, stored and accessed electronically.

@camielverdult: Yes. absolutely. You could argue this is simply an interface and the filesystem is the database but then which "database" doesn't, eventually, want to persist to disk?
