Comparative analysis of database types in mobile applications running on the Android operating system

Abstract

The article focused on conducting a detailed comparative analysis of the different types of databases used in mobile applications on the Android platform. The research included four main types of databases: relational (SQLite), key-value (SnappyDB), object-oriented (ObjectBox) and non-relational (Couchbase Lite). The analysis focused on four key operations: writing, reading, editing and deleting data. In addition, the work evaluated each database type in terms of resource consumption, such as RAM and CPU. This research aimed to provide a comprehensive perspective on the performance and efficiency of each database type in the context of mobile applications on the Android platform. The research confirmed that the ObjectBox database has better performance than the other analyzed databases.
