Jinbase (pronounced as /ˈdʒɪnˌbeɪs/) is a multi-model transactional embedded database that uses SQLite as storage engine. Its reference implementation is an eponymous lightweight Python library available on PyPI.
A single Jinbase database supports key-value, depot, queue, stack, and relational data models. While a Jinbase file can be populated with multi-model data, depending on the needs, it is quite possible to dedicate a database file to a given model.
For each of the first four data models, there is a programmatic interface accessible via an eponymous property of a Jinbase instance.
Having SQLite as the storage engine allows Jinbase to benefit from transactions. Jinbase ensures that at the top level, reads and writes on key-value, depot, queue and stack stores are transactional. For user convenience, context managers are exposed to create transactions of different modes.
When for a write operation, the user submits data, whether it is a dictionary, string or integer, Jinbase serializes (except binary data), chunks and stores the data iteratively with the Paradict compact binary data format. This then allows for the smooth storage of complex data of arbitrary size with Jinbase.
