JSONlite
A simple, self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration JSON document store that sandboxes the current working directory like SQLite.
What is JSONlite?
JSONlite is a simple, self-contained, serverless JSON document store that operates by sandboxing the current working directory, similar to how SQLite works. It allows users to store, retrieve, and manage JSON documents locally without any configuration or running a separate server. The tool validates JSON and saves each document as a UUID-named file, making it ideal for lightweight data persistence in scripts and development environments.
Developers and scripters who need a minimal, zero-configuration way to persist JSON data locally without setting up a database server. It's particularly useful for CLI tooling, local development prototypes, and automation scripts.
JSONlite stands out for its extreme simplicity and lack of dependencies—it requires only bash and a JSON formatter to run. Unlike heavier database solutions, it offers instant setup, no server management, and a straightforward CLI interface, making it the fastest way to add JSON storage to any project.
