How does Realm for Android actually store data?


I am looking at migrating a native Android project from an SQLite database to an ORM. I have considered what I believe to be the fastest current contenders - DBFlow (based on SQLite) and Realm.

Therefore, out of curiosity, does anyone know what sort of data format Realm is using? Having read their documentation, this is seems to be a pretty closed subject and I could not find anything on the matter.


Solution

  • From their site - Realm is not an ORM on top of SQLite. Instead it uses its own persistence engine and their source code is open for java. https://github.com/realm/realm-java
