+# LevelDB for Object Pascal
+
+> **Disclaimer**
+>
+> In the spirit of full disclosure and due to my utter laziness in coming up with the bulk of the boilerplate code, I turned to `ChatGPT`.\
+> You can see the series of prompts and answers I've got in the [research](research) folder.
+
+This is a `C` header translation for the key-value pair database [`LevelDB`](https://github.com/google/leveldb) from Google.
+
+It also contains a skeleton class to wrap the `C` header translation and make it a bit easier to use.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Linux
+
+The package `libleveldb1d` should be installed in order for the tests to compile:
+
+```console
+$ sudo apt install libleveldb1n
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: Since this is being tested on an Ubuntu 24.04, I'll need the community to help me pin down any different package.
+
+### Windows
+
+Coming soon.
+
+### macOS
+
+Coming soon.
