Best Javascript guide

persistence.js is an asynchronous Javascript object-database mapper. It has database-independent abstractions and can therefore easily be ported to new databases. Originally the library was designed to be used in the browser, utilizing its HTML5 WebSQL database, since then it has grown into a library that can be used in essentially every Javascript environment, including server-side Javascript environments such as node.js and RingoJS.
