Knex is a SQL query builder for Node.js that allows you to interact with databases using JavaScript. It supports multiple database systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others, providing a unified interface for database operations. Knex simplifies the process of building complex queries and transactions, making database interactions more efficient and manageable.
Compared to other ORM libraries like Sequelize or TypeORM, Knex offers a lower-level query building approach, giving developers more control over the SQL queries generated. It is actively maintained with regular updates and a strong community support, making it a reliable choice for database operations in Node.js applications.
