Description

Native multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store
Search engine

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Key-value store

Relational DBMS
