A SQLite3 driver for Go that conforms to the built-in database/sql interface, implemented as a cgo package bundling the SQLite amalgamation. It is the de facto standard SQLite driver for Go with support for extensions like Spatialite and user authentication.
Use cases
- use sqlite from go with database/sql
- embed a local sql database in a go application
- store app data in a single-file database
- query sqlite databases from a go service
- use spatialite extensions in go
When to choose
- you need a mature, widely used sqlite driver for go
- you want database/sql compatibility
- you need sqlite features like user authentication or spatialite
When to avoid
- you need a pure-Go driver to avoid cgo and gcc
- you target platforms where cgo is unavailable or painful
- you need high-concurrency writes to a networked database
