An embedded JSON document database for .NET. Store JSON, query it with SQL, add persistent indexes — then scale the same engine out to replication and sharding. One dependency-free binary, or a single NuGet package.

JSON-native, SQL-fluent — nested paths, arrays, joins, aggregations, composite indexes
Sub-millisecond lookups — a direct-address location map, mainframe-inspired
Durable by design — write-ahead log, per-page checksums, crash recovery
Scales with you — logical replication, auto-failover, consistent-hash sharding
Embedded or served — run in-process, or behind an HTTP API via dfdb serve
