PoloDB is an embedded document database.

Introduction

PoloDB is a library written in Rust that implements a lightweight MongoDB.

Why

PoloDB aims to offer a modern alternative to SQLite, which is currently the almost exclusive option for client-side data storage. Although SQLite is an old and stable software, it lacks some modern features. That's why we developed PoloDB, which is NoSQL, supports multi-threading and multi-sessions, and retains the embedded and lightweight features of SQLite.

Features

• Simple and Lightweight
  • can be embedded library or a standalone server
• Easy to learn and use
  • NoSQL
  • MongoDB-like API
• Cross-Platform

Quick start

PoloDB is easy to learn and use:

use polodb_core::Database;
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Book {
    title: String,
    author: String,
}

let db = Database::open_path(db_path)?;
let collection = db.collection::<Book>("books");
collection.insert_one(Book {
    title: "The Three-Body Problem".to_string(),
    author: "Liu Cixin".to_string(),
})?;

Packages

• polodb: The standalone server of PoloDB, which is compatible with MongoDB's wire protocol.
• polodb_core: The core library of PoloDB, which can be embedded in your application.

Platform

Theoretically, PoloDB supports all platforms that the Rust compiler supports. But PoloDB is a personal project currently. Limited by my time, I have only compiled and tested on the following platforms:

• macOS Big Sur x64
• Linux x64 (Tested on Fedora 32)
• Windows 10 x64
