Yes! There are quite a few npm packages available which suits your requirement.

Here are few for your reference,

disk-db - A Lightweight Disk based JSON Database with a MongoDB like API - https://www.npmjs.com/package/diskdb

low-db - JSON database for Node and the browser powered by lodash API - https://www.npmjs.com/package/lowdb

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot but i think its not possible to use with sequelize ? I wan to use with sequelize to create data models

No. Unfortunately, Sequelize ORM is specifically designed to target databases which has transactional, relations support like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL.

Thanks then how can i limit data types without sequelize. For example i want to have an element like user in json and username cant be null and datatype is string

Unfortunately, you can't achieve these features having a flat file (.json) as a data store.
