jOrder

JavaScript data management redefined

jOrder is a lightweight client side database featuring index-based queries and update operations on JSON tables.

Its aim is to shift data manipulation towards the client side by being fast and efficient.

Current version: 1.2

What's new

• Faster, consistent updates
• Index-based count methods: table.count(), index.count()
• New helper methods: jOrder.deep() and jOrder.shallow()
• No deep copy of JSON up front

Highlights

• Fast, index based queries on JSON tables
• Data manipulation preserving index integrity
• Support for keeping client and server data in sync with diff ajax calls

Why?

Thick clients are back in fashion.

Because having the cake and eating it too is nice:

• User experience: Querying data locally is faster than fetching from the server. Yes, even at 50.000 rows. And yes, in practically any browser.
• Saving money: Massively reduced traffic and CPU time cost less.

What for?

Here's a few examples of what jOrder is ideal for:

• Populating grid controls
• Insanely fast paging
• Live search
