- Data is stored in .laz files in MessagePack encoded form. As MessagePack is smaller than JSON, it takes less space & hence the files are compact.
- Each .laz file represents a document (or a table in sql).
- All documents exist in a database, which is essentially a folder being tracked by lazlo.
Features
- Databases do not require an isolated environment. They can exist anywhere, even in your code repository or cloud folder.
- Very easy to use.
- Multiple commands for the same operation (Eg. newdoc & create doc both will create a new document).
- Inbuilt caching system caches recently queried documents leading to faster responses.
- Extensive use of terminal styling (Eg. Success messages are displayed in green & errors are displayed in red).
- Command auto-completion available (Eg. Type create & press tab. You will get recommendations for all commands starting with create).
- Powerful inbuilt logger which logs all the transactions.
Major third party libraries used :
- vorpal js
