Welcome to JSONVault

JSONVault is a JSON document database for Node and Bun. It keeps data in plain files, offers expressive queries (from Mongo-style operators to SQL with joins), and bundles first-class tooling such as schemas, migrations, encryption, TTL indexes, and a durable change log.

This documentation walks you through:

• Installing and embedding JSONVault in an application.
• Understanding how collections, queries, schemas, and hooks fit together.
• Managing data lifecycle with migrations, backups, partitions, and TTL.
• Operating JSONVault in CI/CD pipelines with the CLI and change log.
