NeDB is a pure-JavaScript embedded database for Node.js, Electron, nw.js, and the browser, offering persistent or in-memory storage with an API that is a subset of MongoDB's. It requires no binary dependencies and stores data in files or memory.

Use cases

• embed a lightweight nosql database in an electron app
• store documents locally in node.js without a database server
• use a mongodb-like query api in the browser
• prototype apps with a simple file-based datastore
• add persistent storage to nw.js desktop apps

When to choose

• you need an embedded, zero-dependency database with MongoDB-style queries
• you're building a small Electron or browser app needing local persistence
• you want a simple datastore for prototyping or small datasets

When to avoid

• you need a maintained library with security fixes - the project is explicitly unmaintained
• you need high concurrency, replication, or large-scale production workloads
• you need full MongoDB feature coverage
