Encall Function

The encall function in SwartzDB allows users to encrypt a pre-existing JSON file and convert it into a secure .sdb database file.

How encall Works​

🔹 Reads the content of a JSON file from the database directory.
🔹 Stores the encrypted data into a .sdb file, preventing unauthorized access.

Why Use encall?​

✅ Protects sensitive data – Encrypts information before storage.
✅ Converts JSON files into SwartzDB format – Ensures compatibility with the database.

Example Usage​

Before Encryption (JSON File)​

[
    {"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "age": 25},
    {"id": 2, "name": "Bob", "age": 30}
]

Calling encall​

$sdb->encall("users", "users_encrypted");

users.json should be the unencrypted json file stored in the same drectory where the database should be in.

After Encryption (users_encrypted.sdb)​

The file is now encrypted and cannot be read without decryption.

Conclusion​

The encall function is perfect for securing JSON data and converting it into the SwartzDB .sdb format. This ensures data confidentiality while keeping it accessible through authorized database operations.
