## What it is
SQLiteData is a fast, lightweight Swift persistence library that serves as a drop-in replacement for SwiftData, built on top of GRDB. It provides @Table and @Fetch property wrappers for SQL-backed models with automatic SwiftUI observation and CloudKit synchronization and sharing.

## Use cases
- replace SwiftData with a faster SQL-backed persistence layer
- sync app data across devices via CloudKit
- query SQLite with type-safe Swift models in SwiftUI apps
- observe database changes reactively outside of views
- share data between users with CloudKit sharing

## When to choose
- you want SwiftData-like ergonomics but with direct SQL control and better performance
- your SwiftUI app needs CloudKit sync without writing CloudKit code
- you need fine-grained, testable database observation

## When to avoid
- you have no SQLite knowledge and prefer pure object-graph persistence
- you target platforms outside Apple's ecosystem
- you need a server-side or cross-platform ORM
