## What it is
A lightweight Java wrapper around SQLiteOpenHelper and ContentResolver that adds reactive stream semantics to SQL queries, re-emitting query results whenever underlying tables change. It is now deprecated in favor of SQLDelight.

## Use cases
- reactively observe sqlite table changes in android apps
- auto-refresh ui queries when database is updated
- wrap sqliteopenhelper with rxjava observables
- monitor content provider changes reactively
- run non-blocking database queries on a scheduler

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy android app already built on sqlbrite
- you want reactive sqlite queries on the jvm with rxjava

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use sqldelight instead
- you need content provider monitoring - use copper
- you want an actively maintained library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database, orm
- domain: databases, mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
