Piuma is a lightweight Python library that provides a simple document-oriented interface layer with pluggable storage backends. Piuma is designed around a minimal and flexible core that makes it easy to:
work with structured and document-like data
swap or extend storage implementations
build custom database behaviors
Out of the box, Piuma can be used as a small memory or file backed document store. However, its primary design goal is to serve as a foundation for building more complex or specialized database systems. Piuma has three core structural principles: minimal design, extensibility, compositional architecture.

Use Cases
Piuma works well in situations where you want a lightweight and embeddable data layer.
Building prototypes or experimental data systems
Adding simple document storage to Python applications
Creating a custom persistence layer without adopting a full database
Flexibility in rapid development
Testing environments
Why is it called Piuma?
Piuma (‹più·ma›) is the Italian word for feather, which reflects the design goals.
