When the CGIs on my capsule need to store data, I use SQLite as the backend. I'd like to try out a document-oriented NoSQL database for my next project. MongoDB is the obvious choice, but I don't like its licensing terms, and I like that SQLite doesn't require a process to run all the time. Is there an open-source document-oriented database analogous to SQLite?

SQLite is a bit of a unicorn. I've not run across anything similar in the world of NoSQL.
Incidentally, what makes you want to explore NoSQL? In my experience, it's great for prototyping and for efficiently querying large amounts of data. In all other situations, I would rather have SQL.
There are tinydb and picodb in github but I haven't used any of them.

There are two main reasons I want to explore NoSQL. One is that I'm curious how different paradigms scale in different use cases. The second is that I come across both SQL and NoSQL databases in a professional setting, but I'm less familiar with NoSQL.
FileXDB seems really cool:
