EJDB2 is an embeddable JSON document database engine written as a C11 library with a single-file storage format and an XPath-inspired query language (JQL). It ships native bindings for many languages and platforms, plus optional HTTP REST and WebSocket endpoints.

Use cases

  • embed a JSON document database in a C application
  • store and query JSON documents on mobile devices
  • use a lightweight NoSQL database with a single-file store
  • query JSON collections with an XPath-like query language
  • expose an embedded database over HTTP REST and WebSockets
  • add local JSON persistence to Flutter or React Native apps

When to choose

  • you need an embeddable, in-process JSON database with no server dependency
  • you want a simple query language for filtering, updating, and joining JSON documents
  • you target mobile or cross-platform apps and need native bindings (Swift, Dart, Java, Node.js)
  • you want online backups and a small single-file storage engine

When to avoid

  • you need a full client-server SQL database with rich relational features
  • you require a large ecosystem of ORMs, admin tools, and managed hosting
  • you need horizontal scaling or multi-node replication out of the box
