Andrew, If it fits in an array, then we can store it.
This library was created for multi-dimensional arrays. You can do: put "andre" into tA["whatever"]["another level"]["contacts"]["first_name"] and it would work. The storage medium is a SQLite database. One SQLite file per storage. You can have multiple storage open. You can store as many multi-level arrays you want in one open storage. Each stored array will have a corresponding key. If you provide a top level key element in your array, then that one is used. If you don't provide a key element, then one is generated automatically. Keys are unique. If you try to save an array with a key that already exists in the database, then that record is replaced. Its my own very minimalist attempt at document storage.
