# Enmap - Enhanced Maps
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Maps are a data structure that can be used to store data in memory that can also be saved in a database behind the scenes. These operations are fast, safe, and painless.
|
|
|
|
The data is synchronized to the database automatically, seamlessly, and asynchronously for maximum effectiveness. The storage system used is an `sqlite` database which is fast,
|
|
performant, can be easily backed up, and supports multiple simultaneous connections.

## FAQs
|
|
|
|
### Q: So what's Enmap
|
|
|
|
**A**: Enmaps are the Javascript Map() data structure with additional utility methods. This started
|
|
as a pretty straight clone of the [Discord.js Collections](https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Collection)
|
|
but since its creation has grown far beyond those methods alone.
|
|
|
|
### Q: What is "Persistent"?
|
|
|
|
**A**: With the use of the optional providers modules, any data added to the Enmap
|
|
is stored not only in temporary memory but also backed up in a local database. This means that
|
|
when you restart your project, your data is not lost and is loaded on startup.
|
|
|
|
### Q: How big can the Enmap be?
|
|
|
|
**A**: The size of the memory used is directly proportional to the size of all the keys loaded in memory.
|
|
The more data you have, the more complex it is, the more memory it can use. You can use the
|
|
[fetchAll](https://evie.gitbook.io/enmap/usage/fetchall) options to reduce memory usage.
|
|
|
|
### Q: Who did you make this for?
|
|
|
|
**A**: Well, myself because I do use it often. But also, I built it specifically for beginners in mind.
|
|
Enmap's main goal is to remain simple to use, as fast as possible, and a solid as possible.
|
|
|
|
### Q: What's is used for?
|
|
|
|
**A**: Enmap is useful for storing very simple key/value data for easy retrieval, and also for more complex objects with many properties.
|
|
Mainly, because of who I originally made this for, it's used in Discord.js Bots to save currencies, content blocks, server settings, and
|
|
user information for bans, blacklists, timers, warning systems, etc.
