Website https://iowow.softmotions.com

Key components

  • utils Useful data structures and various commonly used routines.
  • json JSON parsing and manipulation routines incluing JSON Patch/Pointers support.
  • iwkv.h Persistent key/value database engine.
  • iwfsmfile.h File blocks allocation manager like malloc() on files.

Used by

IWKV Features

  • Support of multiple key-value databases within a single file
  • Online database backups
  • Native support of integer keys
  • Write Ahead Logging (WAL) support
  • Ultra-fast traversal of database records
  • Compound keys support
  • Good performance comparing its main competitors: lmdb, leveldb, kyoto cabinet
  • Tiny C11 library (200Kb) can be easily embedded into any software

IWKV Presentation

IWKV Limitations

  • Maximum iwkv storage file size: 512 GB (0x7fffffff80)
  • Total size of a single key+value record must be not greater than 255Mb (0xfffffff)

Store and retrieve records

Compile and run:

gcc -std=gnu11 -Wall -pedantic -c -o example1.o example1.c
gcc -o example1 example1.o -liowow

./example1
  put: foo => bar
  get: foo => bar
