WiredTiger is an high performance, scalable, production quality, NoSQL, Open Source extensible platform for data management.WiredTiger supports both traditional row-oriented storage, where all columns of a row are stored together, and column-oriented storage, where one or more columns can be stored individually, allowing more efficient access and storage.
For more information on the WiredTiger architecture and why it might be right for your project, see:
This documentation describes the programming interface to WiredTiger used by developers to construct applications. We follow SQL terminology: a database is set of tables managed together. Tables consist of rows, where each row is a key and its associated value. Tables may optionally have an associated schema, splitting the value into a set of columns. Tables may also have associated indices, each of which is ordered by one or more columns.
WiredTiger distributions are tested on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. WiredTiger should be portable to any system that supports the ANSI C99, POSIX 1003.1 and POSIX 1003.1c (threads extension) standards.
