# Blazing-Fast Node Filesystem Storage

> Get up and running quickly with RxDB's Filesystem Node RxStorage. Store data in JSON, embrace multi-instance support, and enjoy a simpler database.

# Filesystem Node RxStorage

The Filesystem Node [RxStorage](./rx-storage.md) for RxDB is built on top of the [Node.js Filesystem API](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html).
It stores data in plain JSON/txt files like any "normal" database does. It is a bit faster compared to the [SQLite storage](./rx-storage-sqlite.md) and its setup is less complex.
Using the same database folder in parallel with multiple Node.js processes is supported when you set `multiInstance: true` while creating the [RxDatabase](./rx-database.md).

### Pros

- Easier setup compared to [SQLite](./rx-storage-sqlite.md)
- [Fast](./rx-storage-performance.md)

### Cons

- It is part of the [RxDB Premium 👑](/premium/) plugin that must be purchased.

  

## Usage

```ts
import {
    createRxDatabase
} from 'rxdb';
import {
    getRxStorageFilesystemNode
} from 'rxdb-premium/plugins/storage-filesystem-node';
import path from 'path';

const myRxDatabase = await createRxDatabase({
    name: 'exampledb',
    storage: getRxStorageFilesystemNode({
        basePath: path.join(__dirname, 'my-database-folder'),
        /**
         * Set inWorker=true if you use this RxStorage
         * together with the WebWorker plugin.
         */
        inWorker: false
    })
});
/* ... */
```
