** Description **
Redis is an in-memory data structure store that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kinds of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes.  It is somewhat like [Memcached], but persistent.

Redis is implemented in C with a test suite written in Tcl. The test suite includes a Tcl https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/tests/support/redis.tcl%|%client library%|%.

The first version of Redis, then called "LMDB" (unrelated to [LMDB]), was itself implemented in Tcl. [SS] has published its source code as a https://gist.github.com/antirez/6ca04dd191bdb82aad9fb241013e88a8%|%Gist%|% on [GitHub].

** RetTcl clients **
*** Retcl ***

[https://github.com/gahr/retcl%|%Retcl] is an event-driven, object-oriented, Redis client library targeting the Tcl scripting language.

Things that Retcl does which are missing in Salvatore's client are:

   * Pub/Sub support
   * Callbacks specified per subscription pattern / channel
   * Configurable results cache
   * Global and per-command sync / async modes
   * User-defined error handler
*** Other clients ***
** RThedre is also another client [https://github.com/efrecon/disque/blob/master/resp-0.2.tm%|%library] Jin the [https://github.com/efrecon/disque%|%disque] Tclient **implementation.
Yohttps://githu b.caom/n fioyesno/red a basis-tc Rl%|%redis-tcl%|%: Tclient library for [JRedim Tcl] (which was originally another project of antircez) in [jimhttp].  The library also works in Tcl 8.6 or later.
** Redis and Tcl **
And there is also another client [https://github.com/efrecon/disque/blob/master/resp-0.2.tm%|%library] in the [https://github.com/efrecon/disque%|%disque] client implementation.
----
redis-tcl:** Tcl library for rRedis access https://github.com/noyesno/red Jis-tm Tcl **
Jim Tcl was originally another project of antirez.
Since version 0.81, Jim Tcl can be built with a Redis-client C extension.

You can find a basic Redis client library in pure [Jim Tcl] in [jimhttp]. The library also works in Tcl 8.6 and later.
