I'm curious why NeDB wouldn't suffice.

From the slideshare presentation on the homepage (p. 4)[1]

> Performs better than similar products (NeDB, TaffyDB, PouchDB etc.) and it's much smaller

It would be interesting to see benchmarks.

Ok, TaffyDB is a piece of crap. You call `.fetch` to fetch a document at some id, but if you modify your fetched copy, the copy in the database is also modified. With a database like this I'm much better with a hashmap.

there is this benchmark : https://github.com/danstocker/jorder/wiki/Benchmarks ... I maintain this one (https://github.com/kristopolous/db.js) which is part of that.

From my perspective, with a small collection size, I'll sacrifice performance for expressiveness. I have a number of expensive features that I think do nice things.

Thanks for sharing that. I jumped the gun before commenting.

No worries. I just noticed they include the benchmarks here [1]
