1 month ago Whilst researching items for a project that requires a simple local database I found several open source native Javascript/Typescript implemented NoSQL databases. I'm not sure how the features of each maps to the requirements of scanner, so I'm just listing them for those with requisite knowledge to evaluate versus nedb.
https://github.com/maxnowack/signaldb - may be too biased to browser local storage. Documentation at https://signaldb.js.org/
https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb
https://github.com/Irrelon/ForerunnerDB - may be challenging to implement persistance required by scanner. Documentation at https://github.com/Irrelon/ForerunnerDB/tree/master/doc
https://github.com/drew-y/depot-db - mostly a wrapper for leveldb
https://github.com/typicode/lowdb
https://github.com/alexcorvi/tydb - documentation at https://alex-corvi.gitbook.io/tydb/database-configurations
https://github.com/elmarti/camadb
Pouchdb has been a pain since this scanner was first written. The native dependency on leveldown makes packaging rather painful, and api usage isn't the most elegent. We aren't making use of the replication or conflict resolution logic, so pouchdb doesn't give us anything over another library.
Perhaps https://github.com/seald/nedb? It looks to have no native dependencies.
Or something else which I haven't discovered yet
