Filesystem is the original document store. Unfortunately, most filesystems really suffer when you put $LOTS of files in the same folder, so you end up implementing a nested folder structure and that complicates your code. Now, if this is more complex than running an entire "object" store depends on the application. Also, the filesystem's addressing may not be granular enough (and so waste a lot of space,) if you are going to store < $BLOCK_SIZE files.

It's designed to be used just like a filesystem, but it fixes the shortcomings of filesystems when they are used as dbs. http://github.com/stevedekorte/vertexdb http://github.com/stevedekorte/vertexdb In production use at http://stylous.com http://stylous.com
