Not the use-case. Here's a javascript database I made between 2011 and 2016 that is pretty web use-case specific. https://github.com/kristopolous/db.js Scrolling through the documentation should make some use-cases more obvious. Restructuring, sorting, filtering and modifying data in a fast-enough way that doesn't require thinking hard about things is pretty invaluable. I was actually just using it earlier this month for the first time in a long while. I had forgotten how nice it was. Really made my job way easier but YMMV.

Javascript database - https://github.com/kristopolous/db.js Javascript event system - https://github.com/kristopolous/EvDa * Self-contained * Piecemeal * Vertically sophisticated - simple things remain simple; hard things remain possible * Focus on pleasant, consistent, ease, and flexibility My end-users are programmers and my UX is the API and documentation. I care about facilitating both novice and experienced programmers equal enjoyment and proportional productivity with the most minimum ramp-up necessary. If I have to think about how to do it in the library or look up how to invoke things, I consider that an impetus for re-design.
