Foreign Keys[11]

Logging[12]


AtomicDB is a persistent database, not an in-memory system. However, the logging choice is not found.

Query Interface[13][10]


The supported languages of its API calls include JavaScript and jQuery. The API calls allow user to add, get, modify and associate data.

System Architecture[14]


Uses a framework called R3DM, which has three layers: the semantic (S3), the sign (S2) and the storage (S1). The storage layer is the realization layer, including the core key-value class that serves as the foundation of higher data structures and associations. The sign layer is mainly responsible for representing types, instances, and properties and associations. The semantic layer organizes things together and presents them in a natural way.
