## What it is
A cgo-free Go binding to SQLite that wraps a WebAssembly build of SQLite translated to Go via wasm2go. It provides a database/sql compatible driver, direct access to the C SQLite API, a pure Go VFS, and a GORM driver.

## Use cases
- use sqlite in go without cgo
- embed a sqlite database in a go application
- connect to sqlite with database/sql
- use sqlite with gorm in go
- cross-compile go binaries with sqlite
- create custom sqlite virtual tables or vfs in go
- run sqlite  and math functions from go

## When to choose
- you need sqlite in Go without cgo for easy cross-compilation or minimal dependencies
- you want a database/sql driver plus low-level access to the SQLite C API
- you need advanced SQLite features like custom functions, virtual tables, or incremental blob I/O

## When to avoid
- you need maximum raw query performance, since the wasm-based approach adds overhead over cgo bindings
- you prefer the widely used mattn/go-sqlite3 cgo driver and don't mind cgo
- you need other databases than sqlite

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database-driver, database, orm
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: go, cross-platform, wasm
- tags: sqlite, cgo-free, wasm2go, database-sql-driver, gorm, vfs
