jsonql-db 0.1.1

A lightweight, file-based JSON database with SQL-like interface

JSONQL — Lightweight JSON Database

SQLite, but with JSON files.
A simple, transparent, file-based database for local apps, prototypes, and edge devices.

✅ No server • ✅ No setup • ✅ Just JSON files
✅ SQL-like queries • ✅ Thread-safe • ✅ < 300 lines core

⚠️ Not related to json-ql (PyPI) or jsonql.js.org — those are JSON query tools, not databases.

Install

    pip install jsonql


For the GUI browser (Flet-based):
``` bash
    pip install "jsonql[browser]"

Quick Start

    import jsonql

    db = jsonql.connect("my_data")  # creates my_data/ folder

    # Insert
    db.insert("devices", {"name": "Projector", "room": "A101"})

    # Query
    print(db.select("devices", {"room": "A101"}))

    # SQL-like
    print(db.query("SELECT * FROM devices WHERE room = 'A101'"))

GUI Browser
``` bash
    python -m jsonql.browser
