# DataLiteC

**DataLiteC** is a Swift package that provides low-level access to an embedded, fully-encrypted SQLite engine. It includes [SQLCipher](https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher) and [LibTomCrypt](https://github.com/libtom/libtomcrypt) as source dependencies, with no external installation required.

## Overview

**DataLiteC** provides direct access to the C API of SQLCipher, a fully encrypted drop-in replacement for SQLite. It is designed for Swift projects that require precise, low-level control over encrypted database operations without relying on system-installed libraries.

The package statically includes both SQLCipher and LibTomCrypt as source code, making it fully self-contained and portable across **macOS**, **iOS**, and **Linux** platforms.

DataLiteC does not introduce any abstractions or Swift-specific layers — it simply exposes the raw C interface, allowing complete control and maximum compatibility with the underlying engine.

## Installation

To add **DataLiteC** to your project, include it in the `dependencies` section of your `Package.swift` file:

```swift
// swift-tools-version: 5.10

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "YourProject",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/angd-dev/data-lite-c.git", from: "2.0.0")
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: [
            .product(name: "DataLiteC", package: "data-lite-c")
        ])
    ]
)
```

No additional setup or system packages are required — all dependencies are bundled and built automatically.

## Usage

Once the package is added, you can import `DataLiteC` and use the raw SQLCipher C API directly in Swift:

```swift
import DataLiteC

var db: OpaquePointer?
if sqlite3_open(":memory:", &db) == SQLITE_OK {
    print("Successfully opened connection to database.")
    sqlite3_close(db)
} else {
    print("Unable to open database.")
}
```

To use encryption with SQLCipher, set the encryption key immediately after opening the database:

```swift
if sqlite3_open("secure.db", &db) == SQLITE_OK {
    let key = "your-secret-passphrase"
    sqlite3_key(db, key, Int32(key.utf8.count))

    // It's good practice to verify key correctness
    if sqlite3_exec(db, "SELECT count(*) FROM sqlite_master;", nil, nil, nil) == SQLITE_OK {
        print("Successfully opened encrypted database.")
    } else {
        print("Invalid encryption key or corrupted database.")
    }

    sqlite3_close(db)
}
```
