- pyre 12y ago> which is kinda weird Firefox uses SQLite for a bunch of internal data and the bindings are accessible to extensions. So basically Firefox is a cross-OS platform that's guaranteed to be linked against SQLite, with public bindings. It probably works better than many of the Java-based 'cross-platform' solutions to many problems...
- frik 12y agobut it's weird that Firefox doesn't support the WebSQL HTML5 API. All modern browsers except Firefox (and IE) support WebSQL by using SQLite.
- rajivm 12y agoMozilla took a stance against WebSQL because there was essentially no "standards specification" for it. The standard has rather been defined by its implementation: SQLite. Obviously, this SQLite is a very pragmatic solution, but Mozilla wasn't just happy with something that couldn't have an alternative and therefore permanently constrained. Instead they implemented [IndexedDB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_A...), which is an open standard. However, indexed DB is not a relational SQL store and is therefore less familiar to developers. Instead, it is transactional indexed key-value store on which it is possible to develop an SQL or other type of store.
