 | |
| 
 | |
| Go module `github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3` is a `cgo`-free [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) wrapper.\
 | |
| It provides a [`database/sql`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql) compatible driver,
 | |
| as well as direct access to most of the [C SQLite API](https://sqlite.org/cintro.html).
 | |
| 
 | |
| It wraps a [Wasm](https://webassembly.org/) [build](embed/) of SQLite,
 | |
| and uses [wazero](https://wazero.io/) as the runtime.\
 | |
| Go, wazero and [`x/sys`](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sys) are the _only_ runtime dependencies [^1].
 | |

| ### Caveats
 | |
| 
 | |
| This module replaces the SQLite [OS Interface](https://sqlite.org/vfs.html)
 | |
| (aka VFS) with a [pure Go](vfs/) implementation,
 | |
| which has advantages and disadvantages.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Read more about the Go VFS design [here](vfs/README.md).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Testing
 | |
| 
 | |
| This project aims for [high test coverage](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/Test-coverage-report).
 | |
| It also benefits greatly from [SQLite's](https://sqlite.org/testing.html) and
 | |
| [wazero's](https://tetrate.io/blog/introducing-wazero-from-tetrate/#:~:text=Rock%2Dsolid%20test%20approach) thorough testing.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Every commit is [tested](.github/workflows/test.yml) on
 | |
| Linux (amd64/arm64/386/riscv64/s390x), macOS (amd64/arm64),
 | |
| Windows (amd64), FreeBSD (amd64), illumos (amd64), and Solaris (amd64).
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Go VFS is tested by running SQLite's
 | |
| [mptest](https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/mptest/mptest.c).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Performance
 | |
| 
 | |
| Perfomance of the [`database/sql`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql) driver is
 | |
| [competitive](https://github.com/cvilsmeier/go-sqlite-bench) with alternatives.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Wasm and VFS layers are also tested by running SQLite's
 | |
| [speedtest1](https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/test/speedtest1.c).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Alternatives
 | |
| 
 | |
| - [`modernc.org/sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite)
 | |
| - [`crawshaw.io/sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/crawshaw.io/sqlite)
 | |
| - [`github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3)
 | |
| - [`github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite)

 | |
|       or needed by one of the extensions.
