Node.js SQLite ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) libraries simplify the database working process. It reduces the boilerplate code amount required by providing a higher abstraction level. These libraries play a crucial role in developing applications and interacting with databases.  

 

SQLite ORM libraries enable developers to write code independent of the underlying database. If you switch from SQLite to a different database engine, you can do so with minimal code changes. An interface is provided by ORM libraries regardless of the underlying database. It makes it easier to work with different database systems.  

 

SQLite ORM libraries provide a higher abstraction level and simplify database operations. It improves productivity and enhances portability, promoting best practices. It offers performance optimization. They are tools for developers working with SQLite databases in Node.js applications. It helps focus on building features rather than dealing with low-level database operations.  

 

Let's look at each library in detail. The links allow you to access package commands, installation notes, and code snippets. 

sequelize:  

  • It provides a high-level abstraction over the underlying database system like SQLite.  
  • It promotes a model-driven development approach.  
  • It generates SQL queries based on the defined models and their relationships.  
  • It includes built-in validation mechanisms for ensuring data integrity.
