Name

JSqlDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives

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

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

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

Primary database model

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Key-value store

Native XML DBMS
Search engine

Document store
Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

with Tarantool/GIS extension
