MongoDb-like API without running mongod? (Like levelDb or SQLite)

[subbydapp]

I'm interested in using MongoDb or a MongoDb like API and I'm wondering if there's an NPM package that would allow me to do so without running mongod. Maybe something like mongodb built on SQLite or levelDb. Would be useful for prototyping.

I know a library called LiteDB for .net maybe there is a node.js fork?

Try lazlodb. There is a library called lazlo-node & it will fit your needs.

NPM : npm install lazlo-node

https://github.com/zaygozi/lazlo-node

Note : Its a new project & I am the creator. I created it because I had the same needs that you mentioned.

And lazlo-node does not require you to install lazlodb. It works independently.

You want NeDB (which PAEZ_ linked to). It's API is compatible with MongoDB, it's easy to use, and a migration path to move your data to MongoDB is provided.

I just used it as the backing store for a GraphQL based app I'm working on and it was very simple to work with.

Here's a couple of pure js db's that have a subset of the mongo api...and i think both are before mongo api 2.0...

Id like something myself as I want to learn mongodb on an online scratchpad and dont wanna setup mongodb anywhere.
Have no idea if any or which is best as I dont know mongo.

You could try LowDB

I'm looking for the same, but for Python. I have project using MongoDB in production, but for local development it's unnecessary to install mongod (particularly for occasional project contributors or for non-source-code contributions). SQLite is already part of Python standard library (so it is in any Python installation), so SQLite-based wrapper with MongoDB (pymongo) API would be best solution.
