sdb is a simple string key/value database based on djb's cdb disk storage and supports JSON and arrays introspection.

- namespaces (multiple sdb paths)
- atomic database sync (never corrupted)
- commandline frontend for sdb databases
- arrays support (syntax sugar)
- json parser/getter (js0n.c)
- disk storage based on cdb code
- linked lists from rizin api
SDB requires Meson and Ninja buildsystems to be built:
meson build
ninja -C build
I have modified cdb code a little to create smaller databases and be memory leak free in order to use it from a library.
The sdb's cdb database format is 10% smaller than the original one. This is because keylen and valuelen are encoded in 4 bytes: 1 for the key length and 3 for the value length.
In a test case, a 4.3MB cdb database takes only 3.9MB after this file format change.
Let's create a database!
$ sdb d hello=world
$ sdb d hello
world
Using arrays (>=0.6):
$ sdb - '[]list=1,2' '[0]list' '[0]list=foo' '[]list' '[+1]list=bar'
1
foo
2
Let's play with json:
$ sdb d g='{"foo":1,"bar":{"cow":3}}'
$ sdb d g:bar.cow
3
$ sdb - user='{"id":123}' user:id=99 user:id
99
Using the commandline without any disk database:
$ sdb - foo=bar foo a=3 +a -a
bar
4
3
$ sdb -
foo=bar
foo
bar
a=3
+a
4
-a
3
Remove the database
$ rm -f d
