Quadrium (a.k.a QuadDB) is an experimental database management system (DBMS) developed in Go (Golang), tailored to proficiently manage NoSQL queries.
- Default AES Encryption: QuadDB offers default AES encryption for database collections, ensuring data security.
- Configurability: Full configurability across all parameters, including server port, AES password key, and data storage directory.
- Document-Oriented Format: Support for storing and querying JSON documents in a document-oriented database format.
- GZ Compression: Built-in GZ compression functionality for optimized storage.
- Admin Dashboard: A simple admin dashboard for viewing record counts and collections.
The .qdb extension is used for files that store JSONL (JSON Lines) data, where each line is a separate JSON object. To ensure data security and efficient storage, these files undergo two key processes:
- AES Encryption
- The JSONL data is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a widely recognized encryption standard that provides robust security for sensitive information. This ensures that the data is protected from unauthorized access and tampering.
- GZip Compression
- After encryption, the data is compressed using the GZip compression method. GZip is a popular compression algorithm that reduces the file size, making it easier to store and transfer while maintaining the integrity of the original data.
Together, these processes provide a secure and efficient way to store JSONL data, making the .qdb extension suitable for applications that require both data protection and optimization of storage space.
