eDB: Unified Multi-Model Database Ecosystem

Part of the EmbeddedOS ecosystem.

eDB is a unified multi-model database that combines SQL, Document/NoSQL, and Key-Value storage in a single embedded engine. It includes a Python backend (FastAPI + SQLite), a React/TypeScript frontend with SQL editor and AI-powered query assistance, and a standalone browser version.

Features

Feature	Description
🗃️ Multi-Model Storage	SQL tables, JSON documents, and key-value pairs — all in one database
🔐 JWT Authentication	Access and refresh tokens with configurable expiration
👥 RBAC	Admin, read_write, read_only roles with granular permissions
🔒 AES-256 Encryption	Field-level encryption at rest using AES-256-GCM
📋 Audit Logging	Tamper-resistant logs with hash chain verification
🤖 eBot AI	Natural language → SQL/NoSQL translation
🌐 REST API	Full CRUD via FastAPI with auto-generated OpenAPI docs
🛡️ Input Sanitization	SQL injection, NoSQL injection, and prompt injection detection
⚡ Zero Dependencies	Core engine runs on SQLite — no external database needed
📦 Embeddable	Use as a Python library or standalone server
🖥️ React Frontend	Table management, inline editing, SQL query editor, eBot sidebar
🌐 Browser Standalone	Self-contained single-file HTML version with localStorage persistence

Quick Start

Backend (Python API Server)

git clone https://github.com/embeddedos-org/eDB.git
cd eDB
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Initialize database with default admin
edb init

# Start the server
edb serve --port 8000

# API docs at http://localhost:8000/docs

Frontend (React UI)

npm install
npm run dev

The React UI runs at http://localhost:5178.

Browser Standalone

Open browser/edb.html directly in any browser for a zero-install experience with localStorage persistence.

As a Python Library

from edb.core.database import Database
from edb.core.models import ColumnDefinition, ColumnType, TableSchema

db = Database("my_app.db")

# SQL
schema = TableSchema(name="users", columns=[
    ColumnDefinition(name="id", col_type=ColumnType.INTEGER, primary_key=True),
    ColumnDefinition(name="name", col_type=ColumnType.TEXT),
])
db.sql.create_table(schema)
db.sql.insert("users", {"id": 1, "name": "Alice"})

# Documents
db.docs.insert("logs", {"event": "login", "user": "Alice"})

# Key-Value
db.kv.set("session:abc", {"user_id": 1}, ttl=3600)

Interactive Shell

edb shell
# edb> SELECT * FROM users
# edb> .tables
# edb> .collections
