ocean

In-memory key value store that saves your data to plain old JSON files.

If you like, you can operate on your entire data with classic UNIX tools.

Suitable for small to medium data volume.

Installation

go get git.akyoto.dev/go/ocean

Example

// User data
type User struct {
    Name string
}

// Load existing data from ~/.ocean/User/
users := ocean.New[User]()

// Store in memory and also store in ~/.ocean/User/1.json
users.Set("1", &User{Name: "User 1"})

// Read from memory
user, err := users.Get("1")

In a real project you would usually prefix your collections with a project or company name:

// Data saved to ~/.ocean/google/User/
users := ocean.New[User]("google")

Recommended structure

You can add as many directory hierarchies as you need but I recommend using a simple /namespace/collection/ structure.

Collections should use the singular instead of the plural form (User instead of Users) because it's better for automation.

Ocean does not enforce these standards but they are heavily recommended.
