SQLite3 with vanilla JavaScript and OPFS – Hello world

In this post I will show you how to use SQLite3 directly in the web browser using the original C library through WebAssembly and OPFS to store the database. In this way we will have original SQLite3 on the web to work in the browser with JS on the client side.

We can do this with pure JavaScript or with any framework; but I will show you a basic and well explained example of SQLite3 with vanilla JavaScript. Then I’ll show you an example with Tailwind, Svelte and Progressive Web apps.

Creating an API REST with Python, Flask and SQLite3

In this Python programming tutorial you will learn how to create a REST API using Flask, SQLite 3 (for data), and JSON for data communication.

In the end you will have an API that you can consume from any client that could be an Android application, a browser with JavaScript or even another server language.

I will show you how to create an API that communicates using JSON and saves the data in SQLite 3. The API will be created with Flask, and we will use the Python programming language to handle all the data.
