Noms

Noms is a content-addressable, immutable, peer-to-peer datastore for structured data.

In other words, noms is git for data.

This repository will contain the reference implementation of the noms protocol, and will eventually be open sourced.

This includes:

• Go wrappers for all the core noms types
• Support for generating Go types from Nom schema definitions
• Chunking and dechunking
• Serialization and deserialization
• Chunkstore interface as well as several sample implementations
• Search support
• Sample applications

Get the code

go get -u -t github.com/attic-labs/noms/...

Build

go build ./...
go test ./...

Run

cd <noms>/clients/counter
go build
./counter -fs="/tmp/foo" -ds="foo"
./counter -fs="/tmp/foo" -ds="foo"
./counter -fs="/tmp/foo" -ds="foo"
