# Go bindings to SQLite using Wazero
[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3)
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3)
[](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/Test-coverage-report)
Go module `github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3` is a `cgo`-free [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) wrapper.\
It provides a [`database/sql`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql) compatible driver,
as well as direct access to most of the [C SQLite API](https://sqlite.org/cintro.html).
It wraps a [Wasm](https://webassembly.org/) [build](embed/) of SQLite,
and uses [wazero](https://wazero.io/) as the runtime.\
Go, wazero and [`x/sys`](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sys) are the _only_ runtime dependencies [^1].
### Getting started
Using the [`database/sql`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql) driver:
```go
import "database/sql"
import _ "github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/driver"
import _ "github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/embed"
var version string
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "file:demo.db")
db.QueryRow(`SELECT sqlite_version()`).Scan(&version)
```

### Caveats
This module replaces the SQLite [OS Interface](https://sqlite.org/vfs.html)
(aka VFS) with a [pure Go](vfs/) implementation,
which has advantages and disadvantages.
Read more about the Go VFS design [here](vfs/README.md).
### Testing
This project aims for [high test coverage](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/Test-coverage-report).
It also benefits greatly from [SQLite's](https://sqlite.org/testing.html) and
[wazero's](https://tetrate.io/blog/introducing-wazero-from-tetrate/#:~:text=Rock%2Dsolid%20test%20approach) thorough testing.
Every commit is [tested](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/Test-matrix) on
Linux (amd64/arm64/386/riscv64/s390x), macOS (amd64/arm64),
Windows (amd64), FreeBSD (amd64), OpenBSD (amd64), NetBSD (amd64),
illumos (amd64), and Solaris (amd64).
The Go VFS is tested by running SQLite's
[mptest](https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/mptest/mptest.c).
### Performance
Perfomance of the [`database/sql`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql) driver is
[competitive](https://github.com/cvilsmeier/go-sqlite-bench) with alternatives.
The Wasm and VFS layers are also tested by running SQLite's
[speedtest1](https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/test/speedtest1.c).
### Alternatives
- [`modernc.org/sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite)
- [`crawshaw.io/sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/crawshaw.io/sqlite)
- [`github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3)
- [`github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite)
[^1]: anything else you find in `go.mod` is either a test dependency,
or needed by one of the extensions.
