## What it is
GlueSQL is an open-source SQL database engine written in Rust, packaged as a library with a parser, execution layer, and swappable storage backends. It supports both SQL and a query builder, works with structured and schemaless data, and compiles to WebAssembly for browser use.

## Use cases
- add SQL query support to a NoSQL or custom storage backend
- embed a SQL database in a Rust application
- run SQL queries in the browser via WebAssembly
- query log files or unstructured data with SQL
- build queries programmatically with a query builder instead of SQL strings
- prototype a database engine with custom planners

## When to choose
- you need an embeddable SQL engine in Rust with pluggable storage
- you want to expose a SQL interface over non-SQL data stores
- you need SQL in WebAssembly environments

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone client-server production database like PostgreSQL
- you rely on advanced SQL features like stored procedures or rich transactional guarantees
- your stack is not Rust or WebAssembly

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, parser, orm
- domain: databases, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: rust, wasm, cross-platform
- tags: sql-engine, nosql, schemaless, query-builder, embedded-database, websql
