    SNKV – SQLite's B-tree as a key-value store (C/C++ and Python bindings)▲36

    SQLite has six layers: SQL parser → query planner → VDBE → B-tree → pager → OS. (https://sqlite.org/arch.html) For key-value workloads you only need the bottom three. SNKV cuts the top three layers and talks directly to SQLite's B-tree engine. No SQL strings. No query planner. No VM. Just put/get/delete on the same storage core that powers SQLite. Python: pip install snkv from snkv import KVStore with KVStore("mydb.db") as db: db["hello"] = "world" print(db["hello"]) # b"world" C/C++ (single-header, drop-in): #define SNKV_IMPLEMENTATION #include "snkv.h" KVStore…
