SQLDelight is a Kotlin framework that allows you to generate type-safe APIs for SQLite databases. It is designed for use in Android applications, but can also be used in other contexts.
SQLDelight works by generating Kotlin classes from SQLite database schemas. These classes provide methods for performing database operations, such as inserting, updating, deleting, and selecting data.
Benefits of SQLDelight for Android
- Better security: SQLDelight helps reduce the risk of SQL query errors, because queries are generated automatically and type-safely.
- Better productivity: SQLDelight saves time by generating database APIs from schemas.
- Better testability: SQLDelight makes it easier to create unit and integration tests because the database APIs are type-safe.
