Berkeley DB

Berkeley DB is a software library that allows applications to store, retrieve, and manage data efficiently within a computer system. Think of it as a digital filing cabinet that organizes information in a structured way, similar to a database, but optimized for fast access and flexibility. It is widely used in software applications to handle data like user information, settings, or logs, providing reliable and quick storage without the need for a full-fledged database server. Berkeley DB supports various data formats and can be embedded directly into applications, making data management more streamlined and efficient.
