+## DBWrapper
+
+### Constructor
+
+ # Creates a new database wrapper object
+ RDB()
+
+### Open
+
+ # Open a new or existing RocksDB database.
+ #
+ # db_name (string) - Location of the database (inside the
+ # `/tmp` directory).
+ # column_families (string[]) - Names of additional column families
+ # beyond the default. If there are no other
+ # column families, this argument can be
+ # left off.
+ #
+ # Returns true if the database was opened successfully, or false otherwise
+ db_obj.(db_name, column_families = [])
+
+### Get
+
+ # Get the value of a given key.
+ #
+ # key (string) - Which key to get the value of.
+ # column_family (string) - Which column family to check for the key.
+ # This argument can be left off for the default
+ # column family
+ #
+ # Returns the value (string) that is associated with the given key if
+ # one exists, or null otherwise.
+ db_obj.get(key, column_family = { default })
+
+### Put
+
+ # Associate a value with a key.
+ #
+ # key (string) - Which key to associate the value with.
+ # value (string) - The value to associate with the key.
+ # column_family (string) - Which column family to put the key-value pair
+ # in. This argument can be left off for the
+ # default column family.
+ #
+ # Returns true if the key-value pair was successfully stored in the
+ # database, or false otherwise.
+ db_obj.put(key, value, column_family = { default })
+
+### Delete
+
+ # Delete a value associated with a given key.
+ #
+ # key (string) - Which key to delete the value of..
+ # column_family (string) - Which column family to check for the key.
+ # This argument can be left off for the default
+ # column family
+ #
+ # Returns true if an error occurred while trying to delete the key in
+ # the database, or false otherwise. Note that this is NOT the same as
+ # whether a value was deleted; in the case of a specified key not having
+ # a value, this will still return true. Use the `get` method prior to
+ # this method to check if a value existed before the call to `delete`.
+ db_obj.delete(key, column_family = { default })
+
+### Dump
+
+ # Print out all the key-value pairs in a given column family of the
+ # database.
+ #
+ # column_family (string) - Which column family to dump the pairs from.
+ # This argument can be left off for the default
+ # column family.
+ #
+ # Returns true if the keys were successfully read from the database, or
+ # false otherwise.
+ db_obj.dump(column_family = { default })
+
+### WriteBatch
+
+ # Execute an atomic batch of writes (i.e. puts and deletes) to the
+ # database.
+ #
+ # cf_batches (BatchObject[]; see below) - Put and Delete writes grouped
+ # by column family to execute
+ # atomically.
+ #
+ # Returns true if the argument array was well-formed and was
+ # successfully written to the database, or false otherwise.
+ db_obj.writeBatch(cf_batches)
+
+### CreateColumnFamily
+
+ # Create a new column family for the database.
+ #
+ # column_family_name (string) - Name of the new column family.
+ #
+ # Returns true if the new column family was successfully created, or
+ # false otherwise.
+ db_obj.createColumnFamily(column_family_name)
+
+### CompactRange
+
+ # Compact the underlying storage for a given range.
+ #
+ # In addition to the endpoints of the range, the method is overloaded to
+ # accept a non-default column family, a set of options, or both.
+ #
+ # begin (string) - First key in the range to compact.
+ # end (string) - Last key in the range to compact.
+ # options (object) - Contains a subset of the following key-value
+ # pairs:
+ # * 'target_level' => int
+ # * 'target_path_id' => int
+ # column_family (string) - Which column family to compact the range in.
+ db_obj.compactRange(begin, end)
+ db_obj.compactRange(begin, end, options)
+ db_obj.compactRange(begin, end, column_family)
+ db_obj.compactRange(begin, end, options, column_family)
+
+
+
+### Close
+
+ # Close an a database and free the memory associated with it.
+ #
+ # Return null.
+ # db_obj.close()
+
+
+## BatchObject
+
+### Structure
+
+A BatchObject must have at least one of the following key-value pairs:
+
+* 'put' => Array of ['string1', 'string1'] pairs, each of which signifies that
+the key 'string1' should be associated with the value 'string2'
+* 'delete' => Array of strings, each of which is a key whose value should be
+deleted.
+
+The following key-value pair is optional:
+
+* 'column_family' => The name (string) of the column family to apply the
+changes to.
+
+### Examples
+
+ # Writes the key-value pairs 'firstname' => 'Saghm' and
+ # 'lastname' => 'Rossi' atomically to the database.
+ db_obj.writeBatch([
+ {
+ put: [ ['firstname', 'Saghm'], ['lastname', 'Rossi'] ]
+ }
+ ]);
+
+
+ # Deletes the values associated with 'firstname' and 'lastname' in
+ # the default column family and adds the key 'number_of_people' with
+ # with the value '2'. Additionally, adds the key-value pair
+ # 'name' => 'Saghm Rossi' to the column family 'user1' and the pair
+ # 'name' => 'Matt Blaze' to the column family 'user2'. All writes
+ # are done atomically.
+ db_obj.writeBatch([
+ {
+ put: [ ['number_of_people', '2'] ],
+ delete: ['firstname', 'lastname']
+ },
+ {
+ put: [ ['name', 'Saghm Rossi'] ],
+ column_family: 'user1'
+ },
+ {
+ put: [ ['name', Matt Blaze'] ],
+ column_family: 'user2'
+ }
+ ]);
