Hazelcast vs LokiJS: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hazelcast as "Clustering and highly scalable data distribution platform for Java". With its various distributed data structures, distributed caching capabilities, elastic nature, memcache support, integration with Spring and Hibernate and more importantly with so many happy users, Hazelcast is feature-rich, enterprise-ready and developer-friendly in-memory data grid solution. On the other hand, LokiJS is detailed as "In-memory JavaScript Datastore with Persistence". LokiJS is a document oriented database written in javascript, published under MIT License. Its purpose is to store javascript objects as documents in a nosql fashion and retrieve them with a similar mechanism. Runs in node (including cordova/phonegap and node-webkit), nativescript and the browser.
Hazelcast and LokiJS can be categorized as "In-Memory Databases" tools.
Hazelcast and LokiJS are both open source tools. It seems that LokiJS with 4.95K GitHub stars and 389 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hazelcast with 3.18K GitHub stars and 1.16K GitHub forks.
