Database Structure

mpassdb is a simple database format with a simple sturcture.
The structure can be broken down into three things Groups, Entries and Content.

Groups

Groups act as vaults/directories/folders each group stores two things that being Groups and Entries.
Unlike many password managers there is no limit on the number of groups and subgroups.
A group has a Name and Type
1. Name
A name is just that it's the name of the group
2. Type
A assigned tag to say hey I'm a group

SubGroups

Subgroups are groups that live inside another group there is no nesting limit you can have a many subgroups as you want inside of other subgroups.

Entries

Entries store content they can not be nested but there is no limit to the number of entries you can have.
A Entry has a Name, Type and Content

Content

Content is the core of any password manager they live inside of entries and contain text like E-Mail, passwords or URL's
