SQLite is a database engine written in the C programming language. It is not a standalone app; rather, it is a library that software developers embed in their apps. As such, it belongs to the family of embedded databases.
SQLite vs MySQL: SQLite is a server-less database and is self-contained. This is also referred to as an embedded database which means the DB engine runs as a part of the app. On the other hand, MySQL requires a server to run. MySQL will require a client and server architecture to interact over a network.
