FAQ

Below you can find commonly asked questions about Archivald, I aim to answer most of your questions here, but it's likely that I missed something, if that's the case, feel free to open an issue, and I'll get back at you as soon as I can!

Will Archivald support TypeScript?

Yes, I have plans of implementing a TypeScript variant at some point.

Will Archivald support Python?

I'm unsure of how to write Python bots, so at this time, I have no plans of implementing a Python generator.

The project is open source, so anyone can create a PR and implement Python onto Archivald.

Do you have plans to support other databases?

Yes, I want to implement more databases to Archivald, this is my current list:

  • Sqlite

  • PostgreSQL

Will Archivald support JSON-based databases?

I am not a fan of using JSON files to store data, it's insecure, and it puts unnecessary pressure on the disk, as it's always performing I/O operations. Please just use a real database software.

The closest thing to a JSON-based database you will get is SQLite.

Can I help the community with answering their questions?

Yes! You are free to contribute to the project by helping others on GitHub. This allows me to focus on fixing critical issues and improving Archivald.

Remember to be civil, not everyone is an experienced developer. Instead of pointing your finger and laugh at others, point them in the right direction.

I still have questions!

If you still have questions, you can open an issue, and I'll get back at you as soon as I get the chance.

Please be patient, I'm a solo developer, not a team nor a company.
