Tokyo Cabinet is an embedded key-value store written in C, with native support for C and C++ and wrapper APIs for other languages. Keys and values are NULL-terminated strings or arbitrary sequences of bytes, and generally have variable size. Tokyo Cabinet is not a relational database management system; It is a dedicated key-value store similar to LevelDB, RocksDB etc. An application uses a custom non-SQL API to invoke insert, delete, update operations on data and other management functions. In addition, it supports repeatedly appending to a value, characterized as a "concatenate" operation.[03][02]

History[04][03][02]
Tokyo Cabinet was developed in the late 2000s and improves upon older and simpler data storage libraries such as the Unix dbm ("database manager") and the GNU GDBM by providing a greater variety of backing data structures and additional API functions.
