CloverDB is a lightweight NoSQL database designed to be simple and easily maintainable, thanks to its small code base. It has been inspired by tinyDB. CloverDB has been written for being easily maintainable. As such, it trades performance with simplicity and is not intended to be an alternative to more performant databases such as MongoDB or MySQL. However, there are projects where running a separate database server may result overkilled, and, for simple queries, network delay may be the major performance bottleneck. For such scenarios, CloverDB may be a more suitable alternative. Previously, CloverDB relied on the Badger key-value store as a storage layer. However, Badger is not suitable for every scenario (for example, when the database size is a constraint). This is why, the storage layer of CloverDB has been abstracted through a set of interface types to work with any key-value store. At the moment, CloverDB can work with both Badger and Bolt (by default Bolt is used).
