<h1 align=center>Features Of SQLite</h1>
<p><ul>
<li><a href="transactional.html">Transactions</a>
are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID)
even after system crashes and power failures.</li>
<li><a href="zeroconf.html">Zero-configuration</a>
- no setup or administration needed.</li>
<li>Implements most of SQL92.
(<a href="omitted.html">Features not supported</a>)</li>
<li>A complete database is stored in a
<a href="onefile.html">single cross-platform disk file</a>.</li>
<li>Supports terabyte-sized databases and gigabyte-sized strings
and blobs. (See <a href="limits.html">limits.html</a>.)
<li>Small code <a href="footprint.html">footprint</a>:
less than 350KiB fully configured or less
than 200KiB with optional features omitted.</li>
<li><a href="speed.html">Faster</a> than popular client/server database
engines for most common operations.</li>
<li>Simple, easy to use <a href="c3ref/intro.html">API</a>.</li>
<li>Written in ANSI-C. <a href="tclsqlite.html">TCL bindings</a> included.
Bindings for dozens of other languages
<a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteWrappers">
available separately.</a></li>
<li>Well-commented source code with
<a href="testing.html#coverage">100% branch test coverage</a>.</li>
<li>Available as a
<a href="amalgamation.html">single ANSI-C source-code file</a>
that you can easily drop into another project.
<li><a href="selfcontained.html">Self-contained</a>:
no external dependencies.</li>
<li>Cross-platform: Unix (Linux, Mac OS-X, Android, iOS) and Windows
(Win32, WinCE, WinRT)
are supported out of the box. Easy to port to other systems.
<li>Sources are in the <a href="copyright.html">public domain</a>.
Use for any purpose.</li>
<li>Comes with a standalone <a href="sqlite.html">command-line interface</a>
(CLI) client that can be used to administer SQLite databases.</li>

<h2>Suggested Uses For SQLite:</h2>
<p><ul>
<li><p><b>Application File Format.</b>
Rather than using fopen() to write XML or some proprietary format into
disk files used by your application, use an SQLite database instead.
You'll avoid having to write and troubleshoot a parser, your data
will be more easily accessible and cross-platform, and your updates
will be transactional.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Database For Gadgets.</b>
SQLite is popular choice for the database engine in cellphones,
PDAs, MP3 players, set-top boxes, and other electronic gadgets.
SQLite has a small code footprint, makes efficient use of memory,
disk space, and disk bandwidth, is highly reliable, and requires
no maintenance from a Database Administrator.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Website Database.</b>
Because it requires no configuration and stores information in ordinary
disk files, SQLite is a popular choice as the database to back small
to medium-sized websites.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Stand-in For An Enterprise RDBMS.</b>
SQLite is often used as a surrogate for an enterprise RDBMS for
demonstration purposes or for testing. SQLite is fast and requires
no setup, which takes a lot of the hassle out of testing and which
makes demos perky and easy to launch.</p></li>
</ul>
