BerkeleyDB might be a candidate. It only stores key-value pairs, but keys may have multiple values, and it’s easy to come up with some convention for composite key names in order to store more complex objects. (If need be, you store a list of keys under another key or some such. Depends on what you want to do.) It has transaction support and as a bonus, it’s much faster than SQLite. (SQLite is significantly slower than many simpler datastores such as BDB. The benefit is that you get to write arbitrarily complex queries abstractly in SQL rather than having to spell them out as scads of imperative data structure examination code, that then also has to be debugged and maintained.)
