$ cd simpledb/docker
$ docker build -t simpledb .

usage

the server is capable of storing the following data-types natively:

• strings and/or binary data
• numerical values
• null
• lists (may be nested)
• dictionaries (may be nested)

from simpledb import Client

client = Client()
client.set('key', {'name': 'Charlie', 'pets': ['mickey', 'huey']})

print(client.get('key'))
{'name': 'Charlie', 'pets': ['mickey', 'huey']}
