About us
ObjectBox helps app developers develop faster apps faster by ensuring data is where it is needed when it is needed. The core is our high-performance, lightweight, embedded database written in C / C++ with easy native-language APIs for Java, Kotlin, Swift, Dart (Flutter), Go, and C / C++. On top of the database, we’re building an out-of-the-box Data Sync (think of it as a git for data; currently in Early Access; so far demonstrating great efficiency).
