SQLiteC++ 0.1.0: a smart and easy to use C++ SQLite3 wrapper

less than 1 minute read

I just tagged the first release, 0.1.0, of SQLiteC++ (SQLiteCpp), a small C++ wrapper around the SQLite3 C library.

I started it a few days ago, on March 30th. I wanted something thinner than the wrappers I could find: a handful of classes mapping the SQLite3 C API to C++ objects, using RAII to manage the lifetime of the database and the statements, and exceptions to report errors instead of checking return codes everywhere.

This 0.1.0 adds a Database::exec() method to run a simple SQL statement, and a version number in the header, the same way sqlite3.h does.

The code, the documentation and a couple of examples are on GitHub: github.com/SRombauts/SQLiteCpp. The generated documentation is hosted on GitHub Pages.

It is under the MIT license, so use it as you like, and send me feedback or pull requests.

edit: this was only the start; the next milestone is SQLiteC++ 1.0.0, the first stable release.
