Banana DB is a key/value pair database implemented in Java.

This project is marked as "completed" and is discontinued since July 2009.
It is however fully functional.


I was overwhelmed after a short introduction to CouchDB. But as I couldn't find a Java API
that met my requirements I took the top level consumer API from BananaDB and applied it to CouchDB.
It works extremly well according to me.

CouchDB is however quite a different project compared to BananaDB.
BananaDB is a bunch of files with a locking mechanism, CouchDB is a real DBMS.
They both have their use cases and I think it's worth saving the BananaDB core and consumer API
as an own project rather than hiding it as a tag in the SVN.

I'd take this new project to the CouchDB-sandbox if it existed, but it doesn't and even though
their plan is to add such an area I've been told it will only accept Erlang code.

This new project is known as Tupplur and is available in Apache labs.
