Irmin

Irmin is a distributed database built on the same principles as Git. It can be used as an OCaml library that provides persistent stores with built-in snapshot, branching, merging, history tracking, and reverting mechanisms, similar to a version control system like Git, but for data rather than code.

Release 3.10.0 - %%HOMEPAGE%%

Irmin API

  • Irmin_mem: An in-memory store provided in the irmin package (this package).
  • Irmin_git: A backend that exposes a bidirectional bridge to a Git repository, provided by the irmin-git package.
  • Irmin_pack: A space-optimised, on-disk store inspired by Git Packfiles, provided in the irmin-pack package.
  • Irmin_mirage: A MirageOS compatible store, provided in the irmin-mirage package.
