- SQLite developers aim to support SQLite until 2050, ensuring long-term viability.
- SQLite is highly portable, running on any platform with an 8-bit byte, 32/64-bit integers, and a C compiler.
- SQLite database files are identical across platforms, ensuring compatibility without conversion.
- Aviation-grade testing ensures robustness, with every machine-code branch tested on multiple platforms.
- Extensive, detailed documentation and heavily commented source code aid new developers.
- Disaster planning includes cryptographic protection and global replication of source-code history.
- SQLite focuses on timeless code, avoiding trends to ensure future readability and maintainability.
- Backwards compatibility of the C-language API and on-disk format is promised for future versions.
- SQLite is recommended by the US Library of Congress for digital content preservation.
