'''Dat''' is a tool/API for storing data, usable as a command line interface, a node.js ([[JavaScript]]) library, and a REST API (using [[JSON]]). It can be configured and used with add-on libraries to handle a number of database backends and file formats, but has default storage methods built in (using [[LevelDB]] and files in the local filesystem). It is designed to be able to pull in data from multiple sources of a wide variety of formats and update a database, preserving changes at both ends. It is also intended to be used for peer-to-peer file downloads.
