NoDb
A file system storage library for .NET Core/ASP.NET Core that eliminates the need for a database by storing objects as JSON files.
What is NoDb?
NoDb is a file system storage library for .NET Core/ASP.NET Core that enables developers to store objects as JSON files instead of using a traditional database. It solves the problem of unnecessary database overhead for small projects, prototypes, or low-traffic sites by providing a simple, portable, and easy-to-deploy storage solution. By serializing objects to disk, it reduces complexity and installation steps while maintaining flexibility.
.NET developers building personal blogs, small brochure sites, prototypes, or low-traffic applications where a database is overkill. It's also useful for developers who want to abstract data access for easy future migration to databases.
Developers choose NoDb for its simplicity, portability, and ease of integration with ASP.NET Core dependency injection. Its unique selling point is eliminating database dependencies entirely, reducing deployment friction and enabling scenarios like running sites from thumb drives or CD/DVDs.
