If you're a developer who values speed, flexibility, and security in a database system, you're going to love AxioDB.


🌟 What is AxioDB?

AxioDB is an open-source, blazing-fast NoSQL Database Management System (DBMS) built for developers who need lightweight, file-based data handling without compromising performance or security.

Whether you're working on a side project, CLI tool, or building microservices, AxioDB helps you manage structured JSON data with ease, thanks to its intuitive API and efficient .axiodb file format.

Official Docs: https://axiodb.site


⚡ Key Features

🔥 Blazing Fast

AxioDB uses Node.js streams and in-memory caching for ultra-fast data processing. It’s optimized for large datasets and real-time applications.


💾 File-Based Storage

No database server? No problem. AxioDB leverages its custom .axiodb file format to persist data directly to your filesystem, maintaining integrity without the need for complex infrastructure.


🔐 Security-First

Built with modern security in mind, AxioDB supports AES-256 encryption, robust schema validation, and collection-level access control—ensuring your data stays protected at all times.


👨‍💻 Developer Friendly

AxioDB provides:

  • Chainable query methods

  • MongoDB-like syntax

  • TypeScript typings out-of-the-box

  • Clean and minimal API design

It’s easy to use, even for beginners, and powerful enough for production-level work.

🛠 Installation & Setup

npm install axiodb
const { AxioDB } = require('axiodb');
const db = new AxioDB();

Create collections, insert documents, and query with fluent APIs—check the full docs for more.


🚧 Current Limitations

  • Not ideal for highly concurrent distributed systems yet.

  • Still evolving features like live replication, indexing strategies, and distributed mode.

But the roadmap is promising, with plans for real-time sync and embedded GUI tools.


🎯 Use Cases

  • Offline-first desktop apps

  • CLI tools

  • Embedded systems

  • Local-first prototypes

  • Lightweight microservices


🙌 Join the Movement

AxioDB is community-driven and open for contributions. Whether you're interested in improving the core, writing plugins, or just reporting issues—your help is welcome.

✍️ Final Thoughts

AxioDB is more than just another NoSQL DBMS—it’s a developer-first solution designed to simplify the way we think about local data persistence. If you're tired of heavyweight database setups for small and mid-sized projects, give AxioDB a try.
