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. PouchDB is built on top of IndexedDB, WebSQL, and LevelDB, providing cross-browser compatibility and robust data storage capabilities.
Compared to traditional relational databases like SQLite or MongoDB, PouchDB excels in offline-first applications and real-time data synchronization scenarios. It offers a lightweight and easy-to-use solution for managing data locally and syncing it with a remote database when connectivity is available.
