`ShareDB` is a lightweight, **persistent key-value store** with a **dictionary-like interface** built on top of [LMDB](https://symas.com/lmdb/). It is intended to replace a python dictionary when

1. the key-value information needs to **persist locally** for later reuse,
2. the data needs to be **shared across multiple processes** with minimal overhead, and
3. the **keys** and **values** can be (de)serialized via **msgpack** or **pickle**.

A `ShareDB` instance may be opened simultaneously in children, for reading in parallel, as long as a single process writes to the instance. **Parallel writes made across processes are not safe**; they are not guaranteed to be written, and may corrupt instance. `ShareDB` is primarily developed and tested using **Linux** and is compatible with both **Python 2.7 and 3.8**.

### `ShareDB` in Action
```python
>>> from ShareDB import ShareDB # Easy import
>>> print(ShareDB.__version__) # Check version
1.0.5
>>> myDB = ShareDB(path='./test.ShareDB') # Store ShareDB locally
>>> myDB['Name'] = ['Ayaan Hossain'] # Insert information
>>> myDB.get(key='Name') # Retrieve values
['Ayaan Hossain']
>>> # Accelerated batch insertion/update via a single transaction
>>> len(myDB.multiset(kv_iter=zip(range(0, 10), range(10, 20))).sync())
11
>>> 7 in myDB # Membership queries work
True
>>> myDB['non-existent key'] # KeyError on invalid get as expected
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: "key=non-existent key of is absent"
>>> myDB.pop(7) # Pop a key just like a dictionary
17
>>> list(myDB.multipopitem(num_items=5)) # Or, pop as many items as you need
[(0, 10), (1, 11), (2, 12), (3, 13), (4, 14)]
>>> myDB.remove(5).remove(6).length() # Chain removal of several keys
2
>>> myDB.clear().length() # Or, clear entire ShareDB
0
>>> myDB.drop() # Close/delete when you're done
True
```
`ShareDB` methods either return data/result up on appropriate query, or a `self` is returned to facilitate method chaining. Terminal methods `.close()` and `.drop()` return a boolean indicating success.

Please see the `/examples/` directory for full examples of `ShareDB` usage. Please see the [API.md](./docs/API.md) file for API details.
