A pure-Go implementation of the LevelDB embedded key/value database. It provides fast ordered key-value storage with iterators, batch writes, and bloom filters, all usable as a Go library without external dependencies.

Use cases

• embed a key-value store in a Go application
• store indexed data locally without running a database server
• implement persistent queues or caches in Go
• iterate over ordered key ranges with prefix scans
• replace cgo LevelDB bindings with a pure Go alternative

When to choose

• you need an embedded, serverless key-value store in a Go project
• you want ordered iteration and range scans over keys
• you want to avoid cgo dependencies
• you need batch writes and bloom-filter performance tuning

When to avoid

• you need SQL, relational queries, or multi-node replication
• your dataset must be shared by multiple processes or machines
• you need active feature development or guaranteed long-term support
• you need very large datasets where RocksDB-style tuning is required
