A minimal, single-file SQLite client and ORM for .NET, .NET Core, and Mono that provides strongly typed CRUD operations and queries via a thin reflection-driven layer. Distributed as NuGet packages (sqlite-net-pcl, sqlite-net-static, sqlite-net-base) and usable across Xamarin, UWP, and all .NET platforms.

Use cases

• store data in sqlite from a .net app
• lightweight orm for c# sqlite database
• local database for xamarin mobile app
• crud operations with strongly typed results in .net
• add sqlite persistence to existing project without changing classes
• async sqlite access in .net core

When to choose

• you want a tiny, fast sqlite wrapper that integrates into any .NET project with minimal setup
• you need simple typed CRUD and parameterized queries without a heavyweight ORM
• you target multiple .NET platforms including Xamarin, UWP, and Mono
• you prefer a single-file library you can drop into your source tree

When to avoid

• you need advanced ORM features like migrations, complex relations, or LINQ query translation
• you use a database other than SQLite
• you require a full-featured data access framework with change tracking
