clj-postgresql
A Clojure library providing PostgreSQL helpers with automatic type conversions and connection management.
What is clj-postgresql?
clj-postgresql is a Clojure library that extends clojure.java.jdbc to simplify using advanced PostgreSQL features. It provides seamless type coercion for Clojure data structures like maps and vectors into PostgreSQL types such as JSON, arrays, and timestamps, and leverages PostgreSQL environment variables for connection management. The library reduces boilerplate by automating connections and type conversions, making it easier to integrate PostgreSQL's native capabilities into Clojure applications.
Clojure developers building applications that rely on PostgreSQL's advanced features, such as JSON storage, geometric types, PostGIS spatial data, or array columns. It is particularly useful for teams that want to minimize configuration overhead and leverage PostgreSQL's environment-based connection standards.
Developers choose clj-postgresql for its automatic integration with PostgreSQL's environment variables and ~/.pgpass, eliminating manual connection setup. Its extensible type conversion system allows seamless use of Clojure-native data structures with PostgreSQL's specialized types, reducing boilerplate and improving developer productivity compared to raw JDBC usage.
