Breaking News



**SQLite Gets Offical "First-Class" WebAssembly & JavaScript Support**



see [**sqlite.org/wasm»**](https://sqlite.org/wasm)



Announced in October 2022 the about page reads:



> About the sqlite3 WASM/JS Subproject

> WebAssembly, a.k.a. WASM, is a standard defining a low-level programming language suitable

> (A) as a target for cross-compilation from many other languages and

> (B) for running via a virtual machine in a browser.

> Designed with scriptability via JavaScript in mind, it provides a way to compile C code (among others) to WASM and script

> it via JavaScript with relatively little friction despite the vast differences between JavaScript and C.

>

> Folks have been building sqlite3 for the web since as far back as 2012

> but this subproject is the first effort "officially" associated with the SQLite project,

> created with the goal of making WASM builds of the library first-class members of the family of supported SQLite deliverables.
