Hive is a lightweight, fast key-value NoSQL database written in pure Dart, designed for Flutter and Dart applications. It supports encryption, multi-isolate access, and runs on mobile, desktop, and browser platforms.

Use cases

  • store key-value data locally in a flutter app
  • persist app settings and preferences in dart
  • offline local database for mobile apps
  • encrypted local storage for sensitive data
  • fast lightweight nosql storage without native dependencies
  • cache data across isolates in dart

When to choose

  • you need a fast, pure-Dart key-value store for Flutter or Dart
  • you want simple local persistence with built-in encryption
  • you need cross-platform storage including mobile, desktop, and web

When to avoid

  • you need complex relational queries or SQL joins
  • you need a full document database with indexes and query language
  • your project requires a server-side database
