A type-safe Swift-language layer over SQLite3 that provides compile-time confidence in SQL statement syntax and intent. It offers a pure-Swift interface with an expression builder, chainable lazy-executing queries, and automatically-typed data access.

Use cases

• store structured app data locally on iOS or macOS
• query a SQLite database with type-safe Swift expressions
• run schema migrations for a local database
• use full-text search over a local SQLite database
• encrypt a local database with SQLCipher in Swift
• replace raw SQL strings with a compile-time checked query builder

When to choose

• you are building a Swift app (iOS, macOS, or Linux) that needs local SQLite persistence
• you want compile-time safety for SQL queries instead of raw string SQL
• you need optional-aware Swift types mapped to nullable database columns
• you want SQLCipher encryption support via Swift Package Manager

When to avoid

• you need a cross-platform ORM with server database backends like PostgreSQL or MySQL
• you are not developing in Swift
• you need an async/await-first or reactive database layer with heavy concurrency features
• you need a full-featured ORM with relationships, lazy loading, and change tracking
