jsondb 0.4.0

//! A quick-and-dirty “““embedded database””” library.
//!
//! This is just a library for storing data in JSON files, but with
//! a few added conveniences:
//!
//! * The saved data includes a schema version number, and will be
//!   automatically migrated to newer schema versions.
//! * The live data is guarded by a built-in read-write lock which can
//!   be used synchronously or from a [tokio] async environment.
//! * Data is saved to the backing JSON file, in a hopefully-atomic
//!   fashion, every time a write lock is released.
//!
//! Data can be represented in pretty much any form you can convince
//! [serde] to go along with, except for the following restrictions:
//!
//! * Your data type must be [`Debug`] + [`Send`] + [`Sync`] + `'static`.
//! * Your serialization format shouldn't include a top-level
//!   `version` field of its own, as this is reserved for our schema
//!   version tracking.
//! * You can't use `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]`, as this conflicts
//!   with our use of `#[serde(flatten)]`.
