ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Object database

An object database is a type of database that stores information in the form of objects, instead of storing it in tables like a regular database. It's kind of like putting everything into different labeled drawers in a big filing cabinet. So, instead of having to look through a bunch of tables, you can just look in the drawer labelled "dogs" to find everything having to do with dogs. Object databases make it easier to organize and access information.
