Author of joedb here. I noticed a surge in traffic to my web site, and found this post. I would be glad to chat about joedb.
I have been developing this library for more than 10 years. I could not find a simple light-weight tool to serialize data to files with proper ACID transactions, and did not want to use a SQL database. Even SQLite is not that light, and using SQL strings as API from C is very unpleasant. I thought about the simplest possible way to implement ACID transactions, and came up with the design of joedb. It is orders of magnitude less complex than a SQL database, and provides the simple type-safe low-level access to data I want in C++ code.
