1. PouchDB :
PouchDB is an open-source, NoSQL, in-line database. It is designed after CouchDB which is a NoSQL database that powers npm. It is written in JavaScript language. There is no need to perform queries over the network as PouchDB resides inside the browser and thus it makes it extremely faster. It stores data locally using IndexedDB and WebSQL in the browser.

2. Neo4j :
Neo4j is the most famous graph database management system and it is also a NoSQL database system developed by Neo4j, Inc. Neo4j is different from Mysql or MongoDB as it has its features that’s makes it special compared to other Database Management System. Neo4j stores and present the data in the form of the graph not in tabular format or not in a Jason format. Here the whole data is represented by nodes and there you can create a relationship between nodes which means the whole database collection will look like a graph, which makes it unique from other database management system.
