## What it is
GocqlX is a Go library for working with ScyllaDB and Cassandra that combines a CQL query builder, struct-based ORM-style mapping, and a database migration tool. It wraps the ScyllaDB gocql driver and offers fast, type-safe query parameter binding and result scanning.

## Use cases
- build CQL queries programmatically in Go
- map query results into Go structs
- run schema migrations for ScyllaDB or Cassandra
- perform CRUD operations from table models
- bind query parameters from structs or maps
- make Go structs act as Cassandra UDTs
- generate schema code with schemagen

## When to choose
- you use ScyllaDB or Cassandra from a Go application and want ORM-like ergonomics
- you need a query builder plus migrations in one package
- you want near-raw-driver performance with struct scanning

## When to avoid
- you use a relational SQL database rather than CQL
- you rely on the vanilla apache/cassandra-gocql driver, since v3+ requires the ScyllaDB fork
- you prefer writing raw CQL without struct mapping
