PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database that syncs data seamlessly between web and mobile applications. It is designed to work offline and offers a flexible, schema-less data model that allows you to store and retrieve JSON documents easily. PouchDB is built on top of IndexedDB and WebSQL in the browser, and SQLite on mobile devices, providing a consistent API across different platforms.
Compared to traditional relational databases, PouchDB excels in scenarios where offline data synchronization and real-time collaboration are crucial. It offers features like conflict resolution, change tracking, and replication, making it a popular choice for progressive web apps and mobile applications.
