JavaScript vs. TaffyDB vs. TypeScript vs. WebAssembly Comparison Chart

​TaffyDB is an open source JavaScript library that brings powerful database functionality into your JavaScript applications. It offers a small file size with extremely fast queries and a powerful JavaScript-centric data selection engine. TaffyDB includes database-inspired features such as count, update, and insert, and provides robust cross-browser support. It is easily extended with your own functions and is compatible with any DOM library, as well as server-side JavaScript. Creating a database is straightforward, you can create a new empty database, a database with a single object, an array, or a JSON string. Once you have a database, you can run queries against it by calling the root function and building filter objects. TaffyDB allows you to filter using the database name and object comparison, access data easily, and modify data on the fly. You can also use functions to give you full control over the results of your query.

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications. The Wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms. WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser. WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of Wasm modules on the web.
