CastleDB
Important Note: CastleDB editor has been rewritten to be integrated with HIDE. Castle library is still being developped but the editor here is legacy.
A structured database and level editor with a local web app to edit it.
Why
CastleDB is used to input structured static data. Everything that is usually stored in XML or JSON files can be stored and modified with CastleDB instead. For instance, when you are making a game, you can have all of your items and monsters including their names, description, logic effects, etc. stored in CastleDB.
How
Storage
CastleDB stores both its data model and the data contained in the rows into an easily readable JSON file. It can then easily be loaded and used by any program. It makes the handling of item and monster data that you are using in you video game much easier.
