knex.js: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Knex is a SQL query builder for Node.js that allows you to interact with relational databases using JavaScript. It provides a fluent interface for building queries, making it easy to create complex SQL statements without writing raw SQL. Knex supports multiple database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others, offering flexibility in database management.
Compared to other ORMs like Sequelize or TypeORM, Knex is more lightweight and focused specifically on query building rather than full-fledged ORM functionalities. Its modular design allows developers to use only the parts they need, making it efficient for database interactions in Node.js applications.
