## What it is
SnappyDB is a key-value NoSQL database library for Android built on LevelDB with Snappy compression. It stores primitive types, Serializable objects, and arrays in a type-safe way using Kryo serialization, and can outperform SQLite for read/write operations.

## Use cases
- store key-value data on android without sqlite
- persist serializable objects in an android app
- fast local nosql storage for mobile
- cache primitive types and arrays on device
- replace sqlite with a leveldb-based key-value store
- compress redundant local data on android

## When to choose
- you need a simple type-safe key-value store on Android
- you want faster read/write performance than SQLite for your access pattern
- you prefer a NoSQL approach over relational storage on mobile

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library - the last release was 2019
- you need relational queries or SQL
- you target iOS or non-Android platforms
- you need multi-platform or JVM server-side storage

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database, serialization, caching
- domain: databases, mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: -
