Realm

Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables. This project hosts the JavaScript versions of Realm. Currently we only support React Native (both iOS & Android) but we are considering adding support for Cordova/PhoneGap/Ionic as well as Node.js (V8) soon.

Features

  • Mobile-first: Realm is the first database built from the ground up to run directly inside phones, tablets and wearables.
  • Simple: Data is directly exposed as objects and queryable by code, removing the need for ORM's riddled with performance & maintenance issues.
  • Modern: Realm supports relationships, generics, and vectorization.
  • Fast: Realm is faster than even raw SQLite on common operations, while maintaining an extremely rich feature set.

Getting Started

Please see the detailed instructions in our docs to use Realm React Native.
