Why not use any of the all the existing database solutions?

Why not. Use them. Some of them are great. But KiwiDB can fill a niche if you

• like the concept of document databases
• want to keep the database abstraction real enough for that bad ass unit testing you just cant do with <insert your favourite database name here>
• dont want OR Mapping, or
• dont want to work with ADO.NET
• dont want to rely on a client/server database solution
