Pouchdb vs NeDB: What are the differences?
Pouchdb: Open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that's designed to run well within the browser. PouchDB enables applications to store data locally while offline, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the application is back online, keeping the user's data in sync no matter where they next login; NeDB: Simple in-app or in-browser pure javascript database. Embedded persistent or in memory database for Node.js, nw.js, Electron and browsers, 100% JavaScript, no binary dependency. API is a subset of MongoDB's and it's plenty fast.
Pouchdb and NeDB can be categorized as "Databases" tools.
Some of the features offered by Pouchdb are:
- Cross browser compatibility
- Lightweight
- Easy to learn
On the other hand, NeDB provides the following key features:
- In-memory datastore
- Persistent datastore
- Equivalent of a MongoDB collection
Pouchdb and NeDB are both open source tools. It seems that Pouchdb with 12.3K GitHub stars and 1.24K forks on GitHub has more adoption than NeDB with 10.4K GitHub stars and 701 GitHub forks.
