Edb is a database abstraction layer to Berkeley Databases. Edb contains the source for DB 2.7.7, thus freezing the database format on disk, making sure it will never become incompatible. Edb wraps this with a convenience and optimization API layer, making database access easy, fast and consistent. It handles typing of information in the database and much more. Edb is *VERY* fast and all of Enlightenment 17 configuration management is built on top of it - every configuration file is a database - including Ebits files.
