About:
SQLiteCpp is a modern C++ wrapper library for SQLite3 that abstracts the low-level C API into an intuitive object-oriented interface. It handles resource management automatically using RAII, preventing common errors like memory leaks or unclosed database connections. The library provides type-safe operations and exception-based error handling for cleaner, more maintainable code.

Key Features:

RAII-based resource management
Type-safe C++ interface
Exception-based error handling
Zero-dependency beyond SQLite3
Header-only or single-file implementation options

Use Cases:

Desktop applications requiring embedded database storage
Game development for save systems and local data
IoT devices needing lightweight persistent storage
Cross-platform C++ applications

Alternatives:

sqlite3 – Raw C API, more verbose and error-prone but offers maximum control
sqlpp11 – More compile-time type safety with ORM-like features, but steeper learning curve
