Overview
Stash_Sembast is a storage extension for the Stash API that enables persistent, local data storage using Sembast as the underlying database. It stores vaults and caches in the file system in binary format via msgpack serialization, offering efficient, structured data handling across multiple platforms. Ideal for apps needing fast, reliable offline storage with minimal overhead, it integrates seamlessly with Stash's caching and vault management features.
Use cases
- Offline data persistence
- Caching application state
- Local storage for mobile and desktop apps
- Persistent configuration storage
- Cross-platform data synchronization
- High-performance local database operations
Key features
- Binary storage with msgpack serialization
- File system-based persistence
- Integration with Stash API

- Cross-platform compatibility
- Efficient read/write performance
Suitable for
- Apps requiring offline-first functionality
- Developers using Stash for data management
- Projects needing lightweight NoSQL storage
- Mobile and desktop applications with local data needs
- Teams prioritizing performance and simplicity
Considerations
- Requires understanding of Stash and Sembast APIs
- Limited to file system storage (no cloud sync)
- May require migration strategy for schema changes
- Not suitable for large-scale relational data
- Dependent on msgpack format constraints
- Platform-specific file access permissions may apply
