mysqljs/mysql is a pure JavaScript MySQL client for Node.js. It implements the MySQL protocol without requiring any native compilation.
Use cases
- connect to a MySQL database from a Node.js application
- run SQL queries against MySQL in a serverless environment
- perform CRUD operations on MySQL tables using JavaScript
- migrate data between MySQL instances using a Node.js script
- build a backend API that stores data in MySQL without native dependencies
When to choose
- You need a MySQL driver that works out‑of‑the‑box on all platforms supported by Node.js.
- Your project cannot include native compiled modules (e.g., in serverless or restricted environments).
- You prefer a pure‑JavaScript solution with an MIT license.
When to avoid
- You require advanced MySQL features not yet supported by the driver.
- Performance-critical workloads where a native driver would be significantly faster.
- You need built‑in connection pooling or ORM capabilities (use a higher‑level library instead).
