About this Repository

This repository provides a kit for installing, configuring and running QEWD and the QEWD-JSdb Explorer Applications on the IRIS Community Edition Docker Container.

Once installed, you can explore the Multi-Model Database capabilities of QEWD-JSdb. In particular, you'll be able to see and manipulate:

• persistent JavaScript Objects
• document database
• Redis-like Lists
• Redis-like Key/Object storage
• persistent XML Dom / Native XML Database with built-in XPath Query Support

all implemented in Node.js/JavaScript and abstracted onto IRIS Global storage.

If you want to find out more about the concepts and thinking behind QEWD-JSdb, watch this video of a presentation I gave to the London Node.js User Group in January 2020.

Installation and Configuration

It only takes minutes and a few simple, largely-automated steps to get QEWD and the QEWD-JSdb Exploration kit installed and working on the IRIS Community Editition Docker Container.
