About
Embedded SQL database. Self-contained, serverless, zero-config SQL database in a single file. Public domain and ubiquitous — great for local-first apps, edge, and small services.
What it does
SQLite is a C-language library implementing a small, fast, full-featured SQL database engine that runs inside the host application rather than as a separate server process. The vendor describes it as the most widely used database engine, built into phones, computers, and many other applications.
