A JavaScript library for Electron apps that provides simple data persistence by saving and loading JSON files for user settings, app state, and cache. It supports JSON Schema validation, atomic writes, dot-notation access, and works in both main and renderer processes.

Use cases

  • save user preferences in an electron app
  • persist app state across restarts
  • store configuration with schema validation
  • cache small data locally in electron
  • load and save settings as in electron

When to choose

  • building an Electron app needing simple settings persistence
  • storing small amounts of structured data like preferences or app state
  • wanting schema validation and atomic writes for config data

When to avoid

  • storing large datasets - use SQLite or a real database instead
  • needing concurrent writes or query capabilities
  • using CommonJS since the package is ESM-only
