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 a consistent API across different databases.
Compared to traditional ORMs, Knex gives you more control over your queries and allows you to write raw SQL when needed. It also provides features like migrations for managing database schema changes and transactions for ensuring data integrity. Knex is actively maintained and widely used in Node.js projects.
