Kodein-DB

Kodein-DB is a Kotlin/Multiplatform embedded NoSQL database that works on JVM, Android, Kotlin/Native and iOS. It is suited for client or mobile applications.

Under no circumstances should it be used in a server!

Kodein-DB allows you to:

Easily store, retrieve and query kotlin objects.
Stop carrying about schema definitions.
Easily set up a new project.

Kodein-DB is a good choice because it:

proposes a very simple and readable DSL.
integrates nicely with Android and iOS.
offers very good performances.
is just Kotlin!

Kodein-DB is in beta.

Although, we do use Kodein-DB in production, this means we cannot ensure the library’s correctness and stability. Therefore, we ask that you first try Kodein-DB in non-critical applications, and report any mis-behaviour you may encounter.

Example

A simple example

val db = DB.open("path/to/db")

db.put(User("John", "Doe"))
db.put(User("Jane", "Doe"))
db.put(User("Someone", "Else"))

val does = db.find<User>().byIndex("lastName", "Doe").models()
println(does.joinToString()) // Jane, John
