Description

Persistent store is a term which usually means storage of data which will not be lost after powering down, see: here or a google search.

Having a quick glance over the code I think this library stores data in memory, so I think it could be somewhat confusion.

Some candidates for alternatives:

  • In-memory storage
  • Store

Other suggestions welcome.
