Gun is a real-time, decentralized, and offline-first graph database written in JavaScript. It allows developers to build applications that synchronize data across devices and browsers without the need for a central server. Gun provides features like real-time data updates, conflict resolution, and offline support, making it ideal for building collaborative and distributed applications.
Compared to traditional centralized databases like MongoDB or MySQL, Gun offers a unique approach to data storage and synchronization. It leverages peer-to-peer networking and cryptographic security to ensure data integrity and privacy. Gun is actively maintained and continuously evolving to meet the needs of modern decentralized applications.
