Kinto
What is it?

Kinto is a JSON document storage system with synchronization and sharing capabilities. It allows web and mobile applications to manage data without depending on complex infrastructure, facilitating the collection, distribution and synchronization of information across different devices. Its HTTP-based API simplifies the integration and deployment of applications with remote storage. It offers tools for granular permissions, real-time synchronization and secure storage, allowing users to manage data flexibly and autonomously.

What problems does it solve?

Kinto solves the problem of storing, synchronizing and sharing data in applications without relying on complex or third-party infrastructure. It makes it easier for governments and organizations to manage information in a decentralized way, allowing users to choose where to store their data and guaranteeing both online and offline access.

How does the tool work?

Kinto is a JSON document store with sharing and synchronization capabilities, ideal for web and mobile applications. It allows developers to focus on the frontend, storing data securely and synchronized without relying on large corporations. It facilitates the creation of collaborative and offline applications, ensuring that users control where their data is stored.

Open standards

Kinto uses open standards like HTTP and JSON to facilitate interoperability and flexibility in data handling. These standards allow developers to easily integrate Kinto into web and mobile applications, ensuring that data can be shared and synchronized efficiently and securely.
