Edb is intended to provide a stable API and file format for archiving
|
|
configuration, theme and other data available all the time for access at
|
|
random really fast. Edb can store any kind of data in key-value pair format.
|
|
Random access reading and writing is FAST as the core of Edb used a berkley.
|
|
Edb provides a convenience API designed to make access fast AND improves access
|
|
speed by caching open db's until a flush and providing conveience macros too.
|
|
It also will be used to store image data and geometry data for theme files so
|
|
the information can be accessed without needing to unarchive files and can be
|
|
edited without having to unarchive and re-archive, and still be accesses at
|
|
random really quickly. Documentation is provided as comments in the Edb.h header
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Edb will be used for all config theme and meta data stroage for E17/EFM
|
|
etc. sine it provides FAST random-access read/write of any data wanted
|
|
(binary, string, integert, floating point) withotu the need to
|
|
unpack/repack files - data can be etxracted and put back at whim with a
|
|
simple API from which simple or complex tools can be built.
