JsonDB Project

The JsonDB Project provides a lightweight, file-based database system, designed to make data storage and retrieval simple and intuitive. Built in Python, it leverages the versatility of JSON for data manipulation, making it an ideal solution for small projects, prototypes, or for educational purposes where a full-scale database system isn't required.

Features

• Simple CRUD Operations: Easily create, read, update, and delete records with straightforward Python methods.
• Lightweight and Portable: No need for complex database setups. Your data is stored in a single JSON file.
• Flexible Data Models: Store anything from simple key-value pairs to complex nested structures.
• Search Functionality: Includes basic search capabilities to filter through data based on keys or patterns.
• Minimal Setup: With just a few lines of code, integrate JsonDB into any Python project.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or newer

Installation

To use the JsonDB in your project, you simply need to include the jsonDB.py file in your project directory. There's no need to install any packages or run any setup scripts. Just make sure that jsonDB.py is in the same folder as the Python script where you intend to use the database.

Usage

Here's how to get started with JsonDB in your project:

from jsonDB import JsonDB

# Initialize the database
db = JsonDB('data.json')

# Adding data
db['user1'] = {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 30}
db['user2'] = {'name': 'Jane Doe', 'age': 25}

# Retrieving data
print(db['user1'])  # Output: {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 30}

# Updating data
db['user1']['age'] = 31

# Deleting data
del db['user2']

# Searching for keys (example with regex)
print(db.keys('user.*'))  # Output: ['user1']

Project Structure

• jsonDb.py: The core database module, implementing CRUD operations and data storage in JSON format.
• main.py: An example script demonstrating how to use the JsonDB for basic data management tasks.
• data.json: A sample JSON file used by main.py to illustrate data storage and retrieval.
