LowDB is a lightweight local database library for Node.js and web browsers that persists data in JSON files or memory. It provides a JavaScript API for reading, writing, and querying data using native object and array methods, targeting small-scale applications, command-line tools, prototypes, and environments where a full relational database system is unnecessary.

History
LowDB was created by developer Guillaume Chau (typicode) and first released in 2014. The project evolved from a basic JSON file wrapper to include TypeScript support, an adapter architecture for interchangeable storage backends such as JSON, YAML, and in-memory storage, and atomic write capabilities. Development continues with regular updates and community contributions on GitHub.
