## What it is
SquiDB is a cross-platform SQLite database layer for Android and iOS (via j2objc), offering typesafe row objects, object-oriented SQL query builders, migration tools, and ContentProvider helpers. The repository was archived in May 2020 and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- store app data in sqlite on android without writing raw sql strings
- share sqlite database logic between android and ios via j2objc
- implement a contentprovider backed by sqlite
- manage sqlite schema migrations in an android app
- build typesafe queries with an object-oriented query builder

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android project already using SquiDB
- you need j2objc-based shared SQLite logic and can maintain a fork yourself

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the project is archived and unmaintained
- you need ongoing bug fixes, security patches, or modern Android/Kotlin support
- you want an actively maintained ORM like Room, SQLDelight, or Realm

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database, orm, database-driver
- domain: mobile-development, databases, cross-platform
- platform: jvm
- tags: sqlite, j2objc, contentprovider, dao, query-builder, android-database, android, ios
