NeDB is not intended to be a replacement of large-scale databases such as MongoDB! Its goal is to provide you with a clean and easy way to query data and persist it to disk, for web applications that do not need lots of concurrent connections, for example a <ahref="https://github.com/louischatriot/braindead-ci"target="_blank">continuous integration and deployment server</a> and desktop applications built with <ahref="https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit"target="_blank">Node Webkit</a>.

Please open an issue if you need compatibility with IE 8/IE 7, I think it will need some work and am not sure it is needed, since most complex webapplications - the ones that would need NeDB - only work on modern browsers. To launch the tests, simply open the file `browser-version/test/index.html` in a browser and you'll see the results of the tests for this browser.

Please open an issue if you need compatibility with IE 8/IE 7, I think it will need some work and am not sure it is needed, since most complex webapplications - the ones that would need NeDB - only work on modern browsers anyway.

If you fork and modify nedb, you can build the browser version from the sources, the build script is `browser-version/build.js`.
**The browser version is still young!** For now you can only use it as an in-memory database in browser environments, I'll implement persistence later.
As of v0.11, NeDB is also persistent on the browser. To use this, simply create the collection with the `filename` option which will be the name of the `localStorage` variable storing data. **Browser persistence is still young! It has been tested on most major browsers but please report any bugs you find**
