A Nim wrapper for [Facebook's RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb), a persistent key-value store for Flash and RAM Storage.

## Current status

Nim-RocksDB currently provides a wrapper for the low-level functions of RocksDB

## Requirements

A RocksDB installation that provides `librocksdb.so`. This means that on Debian, and possibly on other Linux distros, you need "librocksdb-dev", not just a versioned "librocksdbX.Y" package that only provides `librocksdb.so.X.Y.Z`.

## Usage

See [simple_example](examples/simple_example.nim)

## Future directions

In the future, Nim-RocksDB might provide a high-level API that:

- is more in line with Nim conventions (types in CamelCase),
- automatically checks for errors,
- leverage Nim features like destructors for automatic resource cleanup.
