This is 200 lines of bash using the file system as a database. The term document store implies a database which this is not. How is this different than just writing files to a directory?
What are the use cases of this project?
- pmelendez 10y ago"A database is an organized collection of data". I think writing files in a directory with a convention falls in that category. [1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database

- camus2 10y agoThe point is the project seems a bit low-effort. The most complicated thing in that bash script is argument processing. What is the added value of that project? does it come up with something new or interesting? a query language for data? an efficient data storage? no, it just store json files in directories. Sure the file system is already a database, but that project doesn't add anything to the file system.
