🚀 This codebase was developed using Extreme Vibe Coding (XVC) 🚀
JDBX is a testament to the power of XVC methodology - the entire codebase, including architecture, implementation, testing, and documentation, was created through structured human-model collaboration using reasoning models built on human knowledge. This represents approximately 3 months of intensive development that would traditionally require 12-18 months of solo developer effort.

JDBX is a high-performance document database built specifically for JSON data, featuring TRUE unified documents architecture and capable of handling billion-document collections with sub-millisecond response times. Written in C for maximum performance, JDBX stores ALL entities (users, roles, libraries, configs, metrics) as documents in a single unified collection, providing unprecedented architectural simplicity while maintaining enterprise-grade performance. With native JavaScript integration, comprehensive RBAC, and a complete RESTful API, JDBX represents the future of document database design.
Latest Version: 7.3.1 (June 27, 2025)
Status: 🚀 Enterprise Production Ready - Revolutionary SSL Semantic Allocator breakthrough achieved
IMPORTANT: This codebase is under heavy active development and has NOT been tested in production environments. While the testing infrastructure demonstrates excellent performance and reliability in controlled environments, real-world production deployment requires additional validation, security auditing, and performance testing under actual production loads.
Use at your own risk - this software is provided as-is for development, testing, and evaluation purposes. Production deployment should include comprehensive testing, security review, and performance validation for your specific use case.
