LokiJS vs XAP: What are the differences?
Developers describe LokiJS 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. On the other hand, XAP is detailed as "The In-Memory computing solution to scale your applications". It provides an essential set of data store features, such as transactions, indexes, and query language (SQL-like queries). It also handles common functions such as messaging, event processing, data access, and transaction processing (ACID compliant) completely and exclusively in-memory.
LokiJS and XAP can be primarily classified as "In-Memory Databases" tools.
LokiJS is an open source tool with 5.17K GitHub stars and 409 GitHub forks. Here's a link to LokiJS's open source repository on GitHub.
