OKV - Okay Key-Value Storage

OKV is a versatile key-value storage library designed for Rust. It offers a simple yet powerful API, inspired by the heed crate, and supports various databases and serialization formats.

Features

• Multiple Database Backends:
  • memdb: In-memory database for rapid prototyping and testing.
  • rocksdb: RocksDB integration for robust, disk-based storage.
• Serialization Formats:
  • serde_json: JSON serialization for human-readable data storage.
  • rmp-serde: MessagePack serialization for efficient binary format.

Installation

Add OKV to your project:

cargo add okv

Quick Start

use okv::{Env};
use okv::backend::memory::MemDB;

fn main() -> eyre::Result<()> {
    // initialize the storage backend
    let memdb = MemDB::new();
    let env = Env::new(memdb);

    // open a database with the specified key and value types
    let db = env.open::<&str, &str>("my_database")?;

    // Working with data
    db.set_nx("key", "val")?;
    assert_eq!(db.get("key")?, Some("val".to_string()));

    Ok(())
}

Supported Types

OKV can work with any type that implements Serialize. Additionally, it supports the following types out of the box without any serialization overhead:

• Integer types: [u8], [u16], [u32], [u64], [u128], [i8], [i16], [i32], [i64], [i128]
• Basic types: (), [&str], [String], [bool]
• Binary data: u8 slices (&[u8]), byte vectors (Vec<u8>), and byte arrays ([u8; N])
