SQLite DocumentDB Releases

1.0 - February 2026

Feature

Schema-free JSON document storage on top of SQLite

Feature

Mandatory typed Id property on document types (Guid, int, long, or string) — stored in both the SQLite column and the JSON blob so query results always include it

Feature

Auto-generation of Ids: Guid → Guid.NewGuid(), string → Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"), int/long → MAX(CAST(Id AS INTEGER)) + 1 per TypeName

Feature

LINQ expression queries translated to json_extract SQL with support for equality, comparisons, logical operators, null checks, string methods, nested properties, and collection queries

Feature

Fluent query builder (IDocumentQuery) — chain .Where(), .OrderBy(), .OrderByDescending(), .GroupBy(), .Paginate(), .Select() and terminate with .ToList(), .ToAsyncEnumerable(), .Count(), .Any(), .ExecuteDelete(), .ExecuteUpdate(), .Max(), .Min(), .Sum(), .Average()

Feature

Pagination via .Paginate(offset, take) — translates to SQL LIMIT/OFFSET

Feature

Expression-based ordering — .OrderBy(u => u.Age) and .OrderByDescending(u => u.Name) on the fluent query builder

Feature

SQL-level projections via .Select() using json_object for extracting specific fields without full deserialization

Feature

IAsyncEnumerable streaming via .ToAsyncEnumerable() — yield results one-at-a-time without buffering

Feature

Expression-based JSON indexes for up to 30x faster queries on indexed properties

Feature

Full AOT and trimming support — all JsonTypeInfo parameters are optional and auto-resolve from configured JsonSerializerContext

Feature

Scalar aggregates: .Max(), .Min(), .Sum(), .Average() as terminal methods on the query builder

Feature

Aggregate projections with automatic GROUP BY via Sql.Count(), Sql.Max(), Sql.Min(), Sql.Sum(), Sql.Avg() marker methods

Feature

Collection-level aggregates in projections: Sum, Min, Max, Average on child collections (e.g. o.Lines.Sum(l => l.Quantity))

Feature

JSON Merge Patch (Upsert) — deep-merge partial objects into existing documents via json_patch (RFC 7396)

Feature

SetProperty — update a single scalar JSON field via json_set without deserializing the document. Supports nested paths

Feature

RemoveProperty — strip a field from the stored JSON via json_remove. Works on any property type

Feature

Bulk delete via query builder — .Where(predicate).ExecuteDelete() returns count of deleted documents

Feature

Bulk update via query builder — .Where(predicate).ExecuteUpdate(property, value) updates a property on matching documents via json_set() and returns count updated

Feature

Transactions with automatic commit/rollback via RunInTransaction

Feature

Dependency injection registration via AddSqliteDocumentStore

Feature

Configurable type name resolution (ShortName or FullName)

Feature

UseReflectionFallback option for strict AOT enforcement

Feature

SQL logging callback via DocumentStoreOptions.Logging

Feature

Raw SQL query and streaming support via store.Query(whereClause) and store.QueryStream(whereClause)
