bison-db 0.4.0

An embedded, document-oriented database for Rust - schemaless documents, secondary indexes, and ACID single-file storage, with zero network and zero external services.
Documentation
//! Choose how durable writes are: sync on every write, or batch and sync when
//! you decide.
//!
//! `SyncPolicy::Manual` (the default) is fastest — writes are crash-safe, but a
//! power loss can lose the most recent writes that were never flushed.
//! `SyncPolicy::Always` fsyncs after every write, so each one is durable the
//! moment it returns, at the cost of a device sync per operation. Both policies
//! guarantee the file is never left corrupt.
//!
//! Run with:
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo run --example durability
//! ```
