+This NoSQL Java database is built for storing data locally on mobile devices. It is optimized for high efficiency on restricted devices and uses minimal CPU and RAM. Being fully ACID-compliant, ObjectBox is faster than any alternative, outperforming SQLite and Realm across all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. Check out our [Performance Benchmarking App repository](https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-performance).
