blockstore | native JavaScript , block allocated high speed key | Key Value Database library

blockstore is a JavaScript library typically used in Database, Key Value Database applications. blockstore has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i blockstore' or download it from GitHub, npm.

blockstore provides block allocated, single file, key value storage for JavaScript and is written in JavaScript. Its API is multi-named so that it is also similar to memcached and Redis, i.e. set is the same as setItem. It can be used as a server side API compatible replacement for localStorage or LevelUP. Less than 275 lines of code with zero dependencies, 10K uncompressed, 5K compressed, and 2K gzipped. Reads, writes, and deletes are all asynchronous. The standard API is similar to localStorage. The localStorage API can also be used; however, currently no events are emmited. Tested at up to 10,000,000 records of 1024 bytes (i.e. 1K) and keys of up to 16 characters on an i5 8GB Win 10 machine with a non-SSD hard drive. Performance is impacted at large multiples of records, e.g. as record counts goes up by millions. (A testament more to the Chrome v8 engine hash lookup than anything else). Key size has an impact up to a length of 6. Small keys are up to twice as fast as the performance numbers below for 8 character keys. Other variances are probably due to garbage collection.
