Hash Cabinet - File based key-object store

Hash Cabinet is a file-based, key-object store with hash-like access.

• Tiny library, based on Ruby's built in SDBM.
• Stores simple values or complex objects through transparent YAML serialization.
• Easy hash-like access: cabinet['key'] = 'value'.
• Mirrors most of the native SDBM methods.

$ gem install hash_cabinet

require 'hash_cabinet'

cabinet = HashCabinet.new 'dbfile'

# Store values
cabinet['some-key'] = 'some-value'
cabinet['another-key'] = { color: 'yellow' }

# Retrieve values
p cabinet['another-key']
#=> {:color=>"yellow"}

# Show all values
p cabinet.to_h
#=> {"some-key"=>"some=value", "another-key"=>{:color=>"yellow"}}
