## What it is
A lightweight, header-only SQLite ORM library for modern C++ (C++14/17/20). It lets you perform CRUD operations and queries with an intuitive, type-safe API without writing raw SQL strings.

## Use cases
- map C++ classes to SQLite tables without writing SQL
- perform CRUD operations on a local SQLite database from C++
- persist application data in C++ with a type-safe ORM
- query SQLite with a fluent one-line-per-query API
- embed a lightweight database layer in a C++ application

## When to choose
- you use modern C++ (14/17/20) and want a header-only SQLite ORM
- you want to avoid raw SQL strings and macros in your data layer
- you need a lightweight embedded database with no external dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a client-server database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
- your project is closed-source and you cannot accept AGPL or pay for the MIT license
- you need a full-featured ORM with migrations and multi-database support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: orm, database, database-driver
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: sqlite, header-only, c-plus-plus, crud, modern-cpp, sql
