221
- db.on('save', () => console.log('Save completed'));
222
- db.on('destroy', () => console.log('Database destroyed'));
223
- ```
224
-
225
- ## 📁 File Structure
226
-
227
- For each database, 2 files are created:
228
-
229
- ```
230
- users.jdb # Data (JSON Lines format)
231
- users.idx.jdb # Compressed persistent indexes
232
- ```
233
-
234
- ### 🔄 Legacy Compatibility
235
-
236
- JexiDB automatically detects and migrates JexiDB 1.x files:
237
-
238
- **Legacy Format (JexiDB 1.x):**
239
- ```
240
- users.jsonl # Data + indexes + offsets in single file
241
- ```
242
-
243
- **New Format (JexiDB):**
244
- ```
245
- users.jdb # Data + offsets
246
- users.idx.jdb # Compressed indexes
247
- ```
248
-
249
-
250
-
251
- ### 🚀 Persistent Indexes
252
-
253
- JexiDB implements **persistent indexes** that are saved to disk:
254
-
255
- **Benefits:**
256
- - **Fast startup**: No need to read all data to rebuild indexes
257
- - **Scalable**: Works well with large databases (100k+ records)
258
- - **Consistent**: Indexes synchronized with data
259
- - **Portable**: Only 2 files to manage
260
- - **Compressed**: Indexes compressed using gzip
261
-
262
- **🔧 How it works:**
263
- 1. **First open**: Indexes are built by reading data
264
- 2. **Save**: Indexes are persisted and compressed to `users.idx.jdb`
265
- 3. **Reopen**: Indexes are loaded instantly from disk
266
- 4. **Fallback**: If index file is corrupted, rebuilds automatically
267
-
268
- ### JSONL Format
269
-
270
- Each line is a valid JSON record:
271
-
272
- ```json
273
- {"id":1,"name":"John","email":"john@example.com","_created":"2024-12-19T10:00:00.000Z","_updated":"2024-12-19T10:00:00.000Z"}
274
- {"id":2,"name":"Jane","email":"jane@example.com","_created":"2024-12-19T10:01:00.000Z","_updated":"2024-12-19T10:01:00.000Z"}
275
- ```
276
-
277
- ## 🔍 Advanced Examples
278
-
279
- ### Complex Search
280
-
281
- ```javascript
282
- // Young users from New York who are developers
283
- const users = await db.find({
284
- age: { '<': 30 },
285
- 'profile.city': 'New York',
286
- tags: { in: ['developer'] }
287
- }, {
288
- sort: { age: 1 },
289
- limit: 10
290
- });
291
- ```
292
-
293
- ### Batch Update
294
-
295
- ```javascript
296
- // Update age of all users from a city
297
- const updated = await db.update(
298
- { 'profile.city': 'New York' },
299
- { 'profile.country': 'USA' }
300
- );
301
- ```
302
-
303
- ### Integrity Validation
304
-
305
- ```javascript
306
- // Validate integrity with details
307
- const integrity = await db.validateIntegrity({
308
- checkData: true,
309
- checkIndexes: true,
310
- checkOffsets: true,
311
- verbose: true
312
- });
313
-
314
- if (!integrity.isValid) {
315
- console.log('Errors:', integrity.errors);
316
- console.log('Warnings:', integrity.warnings);
317
- }
318
- ```
319
-
320
- ### Detailed Statistics
321
-
322
- ```javascript
323
- const stats = await db.getStats();
324
- console.log('File size:', stats.file.size);
325
- console.log('Total records:', stats.summary.totalRecords);
326
- console.log('Indexes:', stats.indexes.indexCount);
327
- ```
328
-
329
- ## 🧪 Tests
330
-
331
- ```bash
332
- npm test
333
- ```
334
-
335
- **Automatic Cleanup**: The test script automatically removes all test files after execution to keep the project directory clean.
336
-
337
- **Manual Cleanup**: If you need to clean up test files manually:
338
- ```bash
339
- npm run test:clean
340
- ```
341
-
342
- **Available Test Scripts**:
343
- - `npm test` - Run all tests with automatic cleanup
344
- - `npm run test:watch` - Run tests in watch mode
345
- - `npm run test:clean` - Clean up test files manually
346
- - `npm run test:optimized` - Run optimized performance tests
347
- - `npm run test:parallel` - Run tests in parallel
348
- - `npm run test:fast` - Run fast tests without isolation
349
-

370
- ## 🔧 Utilities
371
-
372
- ```javascript
373
- const { utils } = require('jexidb');
374
-
375
- // Validate JSONL file
376
- const validation = await utils.validateJSONLFile('./data.jsonl');
377
-
378
- // Convert JSON to JSONL (basic)
379
- await utils.convertJSONToJSONL('./data.json', './data.jsonl');
380
-
381
- // Convert JSONL to JSON
382
- await utils.convertJSONLToJSON('./data.jsonl', './data.json');
383
-
384
- // Create JexiDB database with automatic indexes
385
- const result = await utils.createDatabaseFromJSON('./users.json', './users.jsonl', {
386
- autoDetectIndexes: true,
387
- autoIndexFields: ['id', 'email', 'name', 'username']
388
- });
389
-
390
- // Analyze JSON and suggest optimal indexes
391
- const analysis = await utils.analyzeJSONForIndexes('./users.json', 100);
392
- console.log('Recommended indexes:', analysis.suggestions.recommended);
393
-
394
- // Migrate from JexiDB 1.x to JexiDB
395
- await utils.migrateFromJexiDB('./jexidb-v1-database', './users.jsonl');
396
- ```
397
-
398
- ### 🔍 **How Utilities Work**
399
-
400
- #### **1. Basic Conversion (No Indexes)**
401
- ```javascript
402
- // Only converts format - DOES NOT add indexes
403
- await utils.convertJSONToJSONL('./data.json', './data.jsonl');
404
- ```
405
- - Converts JSON to JSONL
406
- - **DOES NOT create indexes**
407
- - ❌ **DOES NOT create JexiDB database**
408
- - ✅ Pure JSONL file
409
-
410
- #### **2. Database Creation with Automatic Indexes**
411
- ```javascript
412
- // Create complete JexiDB database with indexes
413
- const result = await utils.createDatabaseFromJSON('./users.json', './users.jsonl', {
414
- autoDetectIndexes: true,
415
- autoIndexFields: ['id', 'email', 'name']
416
- });
417
-
418
- console.log(result);
419
- // {
420
- // success: true,
421
- // recordCount: 1000,
422
- // indexes: ['id', 'email', 'name'],
423
- // dbPath: './users.jsonl'
424
- // }
425
- ```
426
- - ✅ Converts JSON to JSONL
427
- - ✅ **Creates indexes automatically**
428
- - ✅ **Creates complete JexiDB database**
429
- - ✅ File ready for use
430
-
431
- #### **3. Intelligent Index Analysis**
432
- ```javascript
433
- // Analyze data and suggest optimal indexes
434
- const analysis = await utils.analyzeJSONForIndexes('./users.json');
435
-
436
- console.log('Recommended:', analysis.suggestions.recommended);
437
- // [
438
- // { field: 'id', type: 'number', coverage: 100, uniqueness: 100 },
439
- // { field: 'email', type: 'string', coverage: 95, uniqueness: 98 }
440
- // ]
441
- ```
442
-
443
-
444
-
445
- ## 🔄 Migration from JexiDB 1.x
446
-
447
- ### Seamless Migration
448
-
449
- JexiDB is **fully backward compatible** with JexiDB 1.x! You can use the same API:
450
-
451
- ```javascript
452
- // JexiDB 1.x code works unchanged in JexiDB
453
- import { Database } from 'jexidb';
454
-
455
- const db = new Database('./database.jdb', {
456
- indexes: { id: 'number', name: 'string' }
457
- });
458
- await db.init();
459
-
460
- // All JexiDB 1.x methods work:
461
- await db.insert({ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' });
462
- const results = await db.query({ name: 'John Doe' }, { caseInsensitive: true });
463
- await db.update({ id: 1 }, { name: 'John Smith' });
464
- await db.delete({ id: 1 });
465
- await db.save();
466
- ```
467
-
468
- ### File Format Support
469
-
470
- JexiDB supports both file formats:
471
- - **`.jdb`** (preferred) - JexiDB's branded extension
472
- - **`.jsonl`** (standard) - JSON Lines format
473
-
474
- ```javascript
475
- // Both work identically:
476
- const db1 = new Database('./users.jdb', { indexes: { id: 'number' } });
477
- const db2 = new Database('./users.jsonl', { indexes: { id: 'number' } });
478
- ```
479
-
480
- ### Key Improvements
481
-
482
- | Feature | JexiDB 1.x | JexiDB |
483
- |---------|------------|--------------|
484
- | **API Compatibility** | Original | ✅ **100% Backward Compatible** |
485
- | **Query Methods** | `db.query()` | `db.query()` + `db.find()` |
486
- | **File Format** | `.jdb` (proprietary) | ✅ `.jdb` + `.jsonl` support |
487
- | **Performance** | Basic | ✅ **10-100x faster** |
488
- | **Memory Usage** | Higher | ✅ **25% less memory** |
489
- | **Data Integrity** | Basic | ✅ **Advanced validation** |

95
+ autoSave: true, // Automatically save after operations
96
+ validateOnInit: false // Validate integrity on initialization
97
+ }
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ ### Main Methods

191
+
192
+ ```javascript
193
+ // Traverse all records
194
+ for await (const record of db.walk()) {
195
+ console.log(record.name);
196
+ }
197
+
198
+ // With options
199
+ for await (const record of db.walk({
200
+ limit: 100,
201
+ skip: 50,
202
+ includeDeleted: false
203
+ })) {
204
+ console.log(record.name);
205
+ }
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ ### Properties
209
+
210
+ #### `length`
211
+ Total number of records.
212
+
213
+ #### `indexStats`
214
+ Index statistics.
215
+
216
+ ### Events
217
+
218
+ ```javascript
219
+ db.on('init', () => console.log('Database initialized'));
220
+ db.on('insert', (record, index) => console.log('Record inserted'));
221
+ db.on('update', (record, index) => console.log('Record updated'));
222
+ db.on('delete', (record, index) => console.log('Record deleted'));
223
+ db.on('before-save', () => console.log('Before save'));
224
+ db.on('save', () => console.log('Save completed'));
225
+ db.on('destroy', () => console.log('Database destroyed'));
226
+ ```
227
+
228
+ ## 📁 File Structure
229
+
230
+ For each database, 2 files are created:
231
+
232
+ ```
233
+ users.jdb # Data (JSON Lines format)
234
+ users.idx.jdb # Compressed persistent indexes
235
+ ```
236
+
237
+ ### 🔄 Legacy Compatibility
238
+
239
+ JexiDB automatically detects and migrates JexiDB 1.x files:
240
+
241
+ **Legacy Format (JexiDB 1.x):**
242
+ ```
243
+ users.jsonl # Data + indexes + offsets in single file
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ **New Format (JexiDB):**
247
+ ```
248
+ users.jdb # Data + offsets
249
+ users.idx.jdb # Compressed indexes
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+
253
+
254
+ ### 🚀 Persistent Indexes
255
+
256
+ JexiDB implements **persistent indexes** that are saved to disk:
257
+
258
+ **Benefits:**
259
+ - **Fast startup**: No need to read all data to rebuild indexes
260
+ - **Scalable**: Works well with large databases (100k+ records)
261
+ - **Consistent**: Indexes synchronized with data
262
+ - **Portable**: Only 2 files to manage
263
+ - **Compressed**: Indexes compressed using gzip
264
+
265
+ **🔧 How it works:**
266
+ 1. **First open**: Indexes are built by reading data
267
+ 2. **Save**: Indexes are persisted and compressed to `users.idx.jdb`
268
+ 3. **Reopen**: Indexes are loaded instantly from disk
269
+ 4. **Fallback**: If index file is corrupted, rebuilds automatically
270
+
271
+ ### JSONL Format
272
+
273
+ Each line is a valid JSON record:
274
+
275
+ ```json
276
+ {"id":1,"name":"John","email":"john@example.com","_created":"2024-12-19T10:00:00.000Z","_updated":"2024-12-19T10:00:00.000Z"}
277
+ {"id":2,"name":"Jane","email":"jane@example.com","_created":"2024-12-19T10:01:00.000Z","_updated":"2024-12-19T10:01:00.000Z"}
278
+ ```
279
+
280
+ ## 🔍 Advanced Examples
281
+
282
+ ### Complex Search
283
+
284
+ ```javascript
285
+ // Young users from New York who are developers
286
+ const users = await db.find({
287
+ age: { '<': 30 },
288
+ 'profile.city': 'New York',
289
+ tags: { in: ['developer'] }
290
+ }, {
291
+ sort: { age: 1 },
292
+ limit: 10
293
+ });
294
+ ```
295
+
296
+ ### Batch Update
297
+
298
+ ```javascript
299
+ // Update age of all users from a city
300
+ const updated = await db.update(
301
+ { 'profile.city': 'New York' },
302
+ { 'profile.country': 'USA' }
303
+ );
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ ### Integrity Validation
307
+
308
+ ```javascript
309
+ // Validate integrity with details
310
+ const integrity = await db.validateIntegrity({
311
+ checkData: true,
312
+ checkIndexes: true,
313
+ checkOffsets: true,
314
+ verbose: true
315
+ });
316
+
317
+ if (!integrity.isValid) {
318
+ console.log('Errors:', integrity.errors);
319
+ console.log('Warnings:', integrity.warnings);
320
+ }
321
+ ```
322
+
323
+ ### Detailed Statistics
324
+
325
+ ```javascript
326
+ const stats = await db.getStats();
327
+ console.log('File size:', stats.file.size);
328
+ console.log('Total records:', stats.summary.totalRecords);
329
+ console.log('Indexes:', stats.indexes.indexCount);
330
+ ```
331
+
332
+ ## 🧪 Tests
333
+
334
+ ```bash
335
+ npm test
336
+ ```
337
+
338
+ **Automatic Cleanup**: The test script automatically removes all test files after execution to keep the project directory clean.
339
+
340
+ **Manual Cleanup**: If you need to clean up test files manually:
341
+ ```bash
342
+ npm run test:clean
343
+ ```
344
+
345
+ **Available Test Scripts**:
346
+ - `npm test` - Run all tests with automatic cleanup
347
+ - `npm run test:watch` - Run tests in watch mode
348
+ - `npm run test:clean` - Clean up test files manually
349
+ - `npm run test:optimized` - Run optimized performance tests
350
+ - `npm run test:parallel` - Run tests in parallel
351
+ - `npm run test:fast` - Run fast tests without isolation
352
+
353
+ ## 📈 Performance
354
+
355
+ ### JSONL Features
356
+
357
+ - **Point reading**: Only reads necessary lines
358
+ - **In-memory indexes**: Fast search by indexed fields
359
+ - **No complete parsing**: Doesn't load entire file into memory
360
+ - **Large volume support**: Scales with millions of records
361
+
362

373
+ ## 🔧 Utilities
374
+
375
+ ```javascript
376
+ const { utils } = require('jexidb');
377
+
378
+ // Validate JSONL file
379
+ const validation = await utils.validateJSONLFile('./data.jsonl');
380
+
381
+ // Convert JSON to JSONL (basic)
382
+ await utils.convertJSONToJSONL('./data.json', './data.jsonl');
383
+
384
+ // Convert JSONL to JSON
385
+ await utils.convertJSONLToJSON('./data.jsonl', './data.json');
386
+
387
+ // Create JexiDB database with automatic indexes
388
+ const result = await utils.createDatabaseFromJSON('./users.json', './users.jsonl', {
389
+ autoDetectIndexes: true,
390
+ autoIndexFields: ['id', 'email', 'name', 'username']
391
+ });
392
+
393
+ // Analyze JSON and suggest optimal indexes
394
+ const analysis = await utils.analyzeJSONForIndexes('./users.json', 100);
395
+ console.log('Recommended indexes:', analysis.suggestions.recommended);
396
+
397
+ // Migrate from JexiDB 1.x to JexiDB
398
+ await utils.migrateFromJexiDB('./jexidb-v1-database', './users.jsonl');
399
+ ```
400
+
401
+ ### 🔍 **How Utilities Work**
402
+
403
+ #### **1. Basic Conversion (No Indexes)**
404
+ ```javascript
405
+ // Only converts format - DOES NOT add indexes
406
+ await utils.convertJSONToJSONL('./data.json', './data.jsonl');
407
+ ```
408
+ - ✅ Converts JSON to JSONL
409
+ - ❌ **DOES NOT create indexes**
410
+ - **DOES NOT create JexiDB database**
411
+ - ✅ Pure JSONL file
412
+
413
+ #### **2. Database Creation with Automatic Indexes**
414
+ ```javascript
415
+ // Create complete JexiDB database with indexes
416
+ const result = await utils.createDatabaseFromJSON('./users.json', './users.jsonl', {
417
+ autoDetectIndexes: true,
418
+ autoIndexFields: ['id', 'email', 'name']
419
+ });
420
+
421
+ console.log(result);
422
+ // {
423
+ // success: true,
424
+ // recordCount: 1000,
425
+ // indexes: ['id', 'email', 'name'],
426
+ // dbPath: './users.jsonl'
427
+ // }
428
+ ```
429
+ - ✅ Converts JSON to JSONL
430
+ - ✅ **Creates indexes automatically**
431
+ - **Creates complete JexiDB database**
432
+ - ✅ File ready for use
433
+
434
+ #### **3. Intelligent Index Analysis**
435
+ ```javascript
436
+ // Analyze data and suggest optimal indexes
437
+ const analysis = await utils.analyzeJSONForIndexes('./users.json');
438
+
439
+ console.log('Recommended:', analysis.suggestions.recommended);
440
+ // [
441
+ // { field: 'id', type: 'number', coverage: 100, uniqueness: 100 },
442
+ // { field: 'email', type: 'string', coverage: 95, uniqueness: 98 }
443
+ // ]
444
+ ```
445
+
446
+
447
+
448
+ ## 🔄 Migration from JexiDB 1.x
449
+
450
+ ### Seamless Migration
451
+
452
+ JexiDB is **fully backward compatible** with JexiDB 1.x! You can use the same API:
453
+
454
+ ```javascript
455
+ // JexiDB 1.x code works unchanged in JexiDB
456
+ import { Database } from 'jexidb';
457
+
458
+ const db = new Database('./database.jdb', {
459
+ indexes: { id: 'number', name: 'string' }
460
+ });
461
+ await db.init();
462
+
463
+ // All JexiDB 1.x methods work:
464
+ await db.insert({ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' });
465
+ const results = await db.query({ name: 'John Doe' }, { caseInsensitive: true });
466
+ await db.update({ id: 1 }, { name: 'John Smith' });
467
+ await db.delete({ id: 1 });
468
+ await db.save();
469
+ ```
470
+
471
+ ### File Format Support
472
+
473
+ JexiDB supports both file formats:
474
+ - **`.jdb`** (preferred) - JexiDB's branded extension
475
+ - **`.jsonl`** (standard) - JSON Lines format
476
+
477
+ ```javascript
478
+ // Both work identically:
479
+ const db1 = new Database('./users.jdb', { indexes: { id: 'number' } });
480
+ const db2 = new Database('./users.jsonl', { indexes: { id: 'number' } });
481
+ ```
482
+
483
+ ### Key Improvements
484
+
485
+ | Feature | JexiDB 1.x | JexiDB |
486
+ |---------|------------|--------------|
487
+ | **API Compatibility** | Original | ✅ **100% Backward Compatible** |
488
+ | **Query Methods** | `db.query()` | ✅ `db.query()` + `db.find()` |
489
+ | **File Format** | `.jdb` (proprietary) | ✅ `.jdb` + `.jsonl` support |
490
+ | **Performance** | Basic | ✅ **10-100x faster** |
491
+ | **Memory Usage** | Higher | ✅ **25% less memory** |
492
+ | **Data Integrity** | Basic | ✅ **Advanced validation** |
