Crate obj_core 

obj-core — internal storage engine for the obj embedded document database.

This crate hosts the layered storage engine: the platform syscall wrappers (L0), the pager (L1), the WAL (L2), the B-tree (L3), the document codec (L4), the catalog (L5), and the transaction manager (L7). Layers are built bottom-up across milestones; see the project plan and power-of-ten.md for the design discipline this crate must uphold.

On-disk format

The .obj file format that this crate reads and writes is specified in docs/format.md at the repository root. That document is the authoritative description of the page-0 file header, the per-page CRC32C trailer scheme, and the page-type tag enumeration; this crate is its reference implementation.

unsafe policy

This crate does not carry a crate-level #![forbid(unsafe_code)] because the platform submodule holds the project’s syscall wrappers. Every other submodule should be safe; new submodules SHOULD include #![forbid(unsafe_code)] of their own where appropriate.

id

Per-collection document identifier — Id(NonZeroU64).

index

Secondary indexes (L6) — index B+trees layered over the M4 B+tree.

integrity

On-disk integrity check (M11 #90).

pager

Pager (L1) — fixed-size page allocator, freelist, bounded LRU cache, and the WAL-aware write path.

platform
