## What it is
SQLiteC++ (SQLiteCpp) is a lean, easy-to-use C++ wrapper around the native C APIs of SQLite3, offering intuitive, well-documented C++ classes. It uses RAII and exceptions, keeps dependencies minimal (C++11 STL and SQLite3), and is portable and MIT-licensed.

## Use cases
- use sqlite from c++ without raw c api calls
- embed a lightweight sql database in a c++ application
- execute sql queries with prepared statements in c++
- manage sqlite transactions with raii in c++
- store and query local data in a cross-platform c++ app
- wrap sqlite3 with exception-based error handling

## When to choose
- you need a modern C++11 interface to SQLite with RAII and exceptions
- you want minimal dependencies and a light, fast embedded database layer
- you need a permissive MIT license for commercial use
- you want a well-documented, well-maintained wrapper with good test coverage

## When to avoid
- you need an ORM with schema migrations and entity mapping
- you require a client-server SQL database rather than embedded SQLite
- you need full thread-safety beyond SQLite's multi-thread mode
- your project does not use C++11 or newer
