What MySQL drivers are available for node.js? [closed]

Question

Is there a Node.JS Driver for MySQL that is commonly used other than node-mysql?

(It seems like there is not much activity with node.js database drivers. Is there a reason for this or is it just because Node.JS is so young?)

Answer 1

Here are some options:

• http://github.com/felixge/node-mysql (last update: Sep 29th)
• https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2 (last update: Sep 04, 2018)

Answer 2

You can also try out a newer effort known as Node.js DB that aims to provide a common framework for several database engines. It is built with C++ so performance is guaranteed.

Specifically you could use its db-mysql driver for Node.js MySQL support.
