from lightdb import LightDB
# Create a new database object, or load an existing one from file
db = LightDB("my_database.json")
# Set a key-value pair
db.set("name", "Alice")
# Get the value associated with a key
name = db.get("name")
print(name) # Output: "Alice"
# Remove a key-value pair from the database
db.pop("name")
# Reset the database to an empty state
db.reset()
# After this, you need to save changes
db.save()
