TinyDB is a lightweight, pure-Python document-oriented NoSQL database that stores documents as dicts in a JSON file with no external dependencies or server. It provides a simple query API and is extensible via custom storages and middlewares.
Use cases
- store json documents in a small python app without a database server
- embedded nosql database for a desktop or cli tool
- simple key-value/document store for prototypes and scripts
- persist structured data in pure python with no dependencies
- query json files with a mongodb-like query syntax
When to choose
- you need a tiny embedded document store for a small app that doesn't warrant SQL or a database server
- you want zero external dependencies and pure Python
- you need a simple, fun API for storing and querying dicts
When to avoid
- you need concurrent multi-process access or high throughput
- your dataset is large or requires indexing, transactions, or SQL
- you need active feature development - the project is in maintenance mode
