LiteDb.VersionChecker
LiteDb.VersionChecker is a lightweight .NET utility that determines whether a .db file was created with LiteDB 4 or LiteDB 5, by analyzing the binary file header — no database open required.
Features
- 🧠 Detects LiteDB 4 files (datafile version 7)
- ✅ Detects LiteDB 5 files (datafile version 8)
- 🔒 Supports encrypted LiteDB 5 files
- ⚡ Fast and dependency-free
- 🔧 Compatible with .NET Standard 2.0+ / .NET 6+
Usage
string version = LiteDbVersionDetector.DetectLiteDbVersion("path/to/file.db");
Console.WriteLine(version); // "LiteDB 4", "LiteDB 5" or "No LiteDB file"
File Format Logic
LiteDb.VersionChecker reads the first 1024 bytes of the file and inspects known headers:
| Version | Header Offset | Version Offset | Byte Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| LiteDB 4 | 25 | 52 | 7 |
| LiteDB 5 | 32 | 59 | 8 |
| Encrypted | 0 | - | 1 |
