wa-sqlite is a WebAssembly build of SQLite with JavaScript-extensible virtual filesystem (VFS) support. It enables running SQLite in the browser with storage backends like IndexedDB and Origin Private File System, in synchronous or asynchronous builds.

Use cases

• run sqlite in the browser
• persist app data client-side with indexeddb
• store structured data in opfs
• use a real sql database in a web app without a server
• write custom sqlite vfs in javascript
• offline-first web app with local database

When to choose

• you need full SQL in a browser-based application
• you want client-side persistent storage with IndexedDB or OPFS backends
• you need to customize SQLite behavior via JavaScript VFS extensions

When to avoid

• you need a server-side or native (non-browser) database
• you only need simple key-value storage without SQL
• your target browsers lack WebAssembly or OPFS support
