SQLite-like alternative for MongoDB?

couchdb, database, document-oriented, mongodb, ruby

Solution

I know, the question was asked 5 years ago, but just for completeness' sake, embedded MongoDB has happened since:

https://github.com/hamiltop/MongoLiteDB

Problem

I'm looking for a document-oriented db with a Ruby API that has SQLite-like properties: - self-contained, - serverless, - zero-configuration. Are there light alternatives to MongoDB or CouchDB? Is RDDB a possibility? If not, what are the best paths to walk then?
