[![Go Coverage](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/coverage.svg)](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].

### 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](.github/workflows/test.yml) on
Linux (amd64/arm64/386/riscv64/s390x), macOS (amd64/arm64),
Windows (amd64), FreeBSD (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).

      or needed by one of the extensions.
