README
toondb-core
Core types and traits for ToonDB - the LLM-native database.
Overview
toondb-core provides the foundational types, error handling, and trait definitions used throughout the ToonDB ecosystem. This crate is typically not used directly - instead, use the toondb client crate.
Features
- Core Types: Value types, keys, and serialization primitives
- Error Handling: Unified error types across all ToonDB crates
- Trait Definitions: Common traits for storage backends and query execution
- TOON Format: Token-optimized notation for LLM efficiency (40-66% fewer tokens than JSON)
Installation
[dependencies]
toondb-core = "0.2.5"
Usage
Most users should use the high-level toondb crate instead:
use toondb::Database;
let db = Database::open("./my_data")?;
