SnkvDB

I built *snkvDB* — a single-header, ACID-compliant key-value store with zero setup.https://github.com/hash-anu/snkv### Why I built thisI wanted something as simple as a hashmap, but:* persistent * crash-safe * no external dependencies * easy to drop into any C/C++ projectMost KV stores are either:* too heavy (servers, background processes), or * too low-level (you manage everything)snkvDB tries to sit in between.---### What it is* Single-header KV store (just include and use) * ACID compliant (thanks to SQLite) * No server, no config, no build system required * Works like a simple embedded database---### Under the hoodsnkvDB is built on SQLite’s storage engine (B-Tree backend), so you get:* durability * transactions * mature, battle-tested storageBut the API is simplified to a minimal KV interface.---### When to use it* Embedding storage in CLI tools or small apps * Replacing ad-hoc file storage * Lightweight persistence without running a DB server---### BenchmarksI’ve compared it with RocksDB and LMDB here: https://github.com/hash-anu/snkvTL;DR:* Faster than RocksDB for small/medium workloads * Easier to use than LMDB * Balanced read/write performance---### Trade-offs* Not for write-heavy, high-throughput workloads (RocksDB is better there) * LMDB can be faster for pure reads * This prioritizes simplicity + safety over raw performance---Would love feedback, especially on:* API design * performance * real-world use cases
