Spinneret is a structured storage engine that can
be thought of as an extended tuple storage system.
It takes the best aspects of relational, object,
and hierarchical databases and throws away the
dead weight associated with those technologies.
The benefit of Spinneret is that its data model is
incredibly flexible, allowing it to expose its
underlying data in any number of ways. It operates
similar to an object database, but without hard
ties to an originating language, and can also
behave like a relational database without the
burden of complex joins.
