SQLite is a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured SQL database engine. Created by D. Richard Hipp in 2000, SQLite is the most used database engine in the world — it is built into every Android device, every iPhone and iOS device, every Mac, every Windows 10 machine, every Firefox/Chrome/Safari browser, and countless embedded systems.
It is public domain software with one of the most rigorous test suites of any software project in existence.
