React Native: SQLite vs AsyncStorage

What are the main differences between SQLite and AsyncStorage in React Native?

SQLite is a full-fledged relational database, while AsyncStorage is a simple key-value storage system. SQLite supports complex queries and transactions, whereas AsyncStorage is more suited for lightweight data storage.

When should I use SQLite instead of AsyncStorage?

You should use SQLite when you need to handle large amounts of structured data, require complex queries, or need to maintain data integrity with transactions. AsyncStorage is better for simpler use cases.

Can I use both SQLite and AsyncStorage in the same app?

Yes, you can use both in the same app. Use AsyncStorage for simple data and SQLite for more complex data management.

What are the performance implications of using SQLite over AsyncStorage?

SQLite generally offers better performance for large datasets and complex queries, while AsyncStorage may be faster for simple key-value operations.
