## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: sqlite, ffi-bindings, embedded-database
