Gibson is a high efficiency, tree based memory cache server. It is not meant to replace a database, since it was written to be a key-value store to be used as a cache server, but it's not the usual cache server.

Normal key-value stores ( memcache, redis, etc ) uses a hash table as their main data structure, so every key is hashed with a specific algorithm and the resulting hash is used to identify the given value in memory. This approach, although very fast, doesn't allow the user to execute globbing expressions/selections on a given (multiple) keyset, thus resulting on a pure one-by-one access paradigm.

Gibson is different, it uses a tree based structure allowing the user to perform operations on multiple key sets using a prefix expression achieving the same performance grades.
