## What it is
A pure Go library implementing the MySQL network protocol and replication, including binlog stream processing, a MySQL client, a fake MySQL server, and a database/sql driver. It also supports incremental dumping to sync MySQL data to systems like Redis or Elasticsearch.

## Use cases
- parse mysql binlog events in go
- sync mysql data to elasticsearch or redis
- implement a fake mysql server for testing
- connect to mysql from go without cgo
- replicate mysql changes in real time
- build a mysql proxy in go

## When to choose
- you need low-level MySQL protocol or binlog access in Go
- you want a pure-Go, dependency-light MySQL client or driver
- you're building CDC or data-sync pipelines from MySQL

## When to avoid
- you just need a simple ORM or query builder
- you use a database other than MySQL/MariaDB
- you need TinyGo compatibility

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database-driver, database, serialization, logging
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: mysql-protocol, binlog-replication, mariadb, go-library, data-sync, linux
