APIBASE
APIBASE is a data addressing protocol.
Instead of querying data, APIBASE accesses it directly through coordinates.
Addressable Data
Every value inside a BASE has a coordinate. Requests target positions instead of executing queries.
Deterministic Storage
Databases are stored as deterministic BASE files composed of structured assignments.
Versionable Databases
Because BASE files are text structures, databases integrate naturally with Git workflows.
Example
Request a value from a coordinate:
GET /hive/get/books/T2/L4/C2
Response:
The Hobbit
Internal structure:
$data[2][4][2] = 'The Hobbit';
The Core Idea
Traditional databases search for data using queries. APIBASE addresses data directly through coordinates.
BASE / TABLE / LINE / COLUMN
In APIBASE, the coordinate is the query.
For Individuals
Build data services without provisioning servers, clusters, or orchestration.
Personal BASE
A dedicated BASE stored as a deterministic file under your control.
Zero Infrastructure
No database server, no migrations, no orchestration layer.
Full Ownership
Portable, readable, and versionable by design.
Frontend-Ready Datasets
APIBASE can also export tables as reusable frontend datasets, including JavaScript files ready to be included in an application.
This is especially useful for reference tables that change infrequently, such as categories, units, countries, roles, or suppliers.
const categories = [
{ "id_categorie":1, "categorie":"Hardware" },
{ "id_categorie":2, "categorie":"Software" }
];
A developer can generate this file once from APIBASE and use it locally inside a project without sending repeated API requests for stable lookup data.
Static Reference Data
Use exported .js datasets for tables that rarely change and do not require live requests.
Faster Frontends
Populate selects, filters, and lookups instantly without calling the API on every page load.
Hybrid Architecture
Keep transactional data live through the API while shipping stable reference data as portable frontend assets.
APIBASE can serve both live API data and portable static datasets from the same source of truth.
