Rusqlite is an ergonomic Rust library providing bindings to SQLite, with an optional bundled feature that compiles SQLite from source. It offers a safe, idiomatic API for opening connections, executing statements, and mapping query rows to Rust types.

Use cases

• use sqlite from rust
• embed a local database in a rust application
• query sqlite and map rows to rust structs
• bundle sqlite with my rust binary
• open an in-memory sqlite database in rust

When to choose

• you need a local, embedded relational database in a Rust project
• you want safe, ergonomic SQLite bindings with active maintenance
• you want to avoid system SQLite version issues via the bundled feature

When to avoid

• you need a client-server database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
• you are building a generic library around rusqlite and want to avoid forcing the bundled feature
• you need async-first database access without blocking calls
