## What it is
A Cordova/PhoneGap plugin providing native SQLite database access on Android, iOS, and Windows with an API based on the HTML5/Web SQL draft API. It lets hybrid mobile apps store and query structured data locally without a server.

## Use cases
- store data locally in a cordova app
- use sqlite in an ionic app
- offline database for phonegap app
- web sql api replacement for mobile apps
- persist structured data on android and ios
- query sqlite from javascript in a hybrid app

## When to choose
- building a Cordova, PhoneGap, or Ionic app that needs local relational storage
- you want a Web SQL-like API backed by native SQLite
- you need cross-platform local persistence across Android and iOS

## When to avoid
- building a native app without Cordova
- you need encryption (use the cordova-sqlcipher-adapter instead)
- you need pre-populated databases or BLOB features (use cordova-sqlite-ext)
- browser-only persistence is required (no persistence in browser platform)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
