What is go-sql-driver?
Go-MySQL-Driver is a database driver written in pure Go that implements the database/sql/driver interface, allowing Go applications to connect to and interact with MySQL, MariaDB, and compatible databases like TiDB. It solves the need for a reliable, high-performance, and idiomatic way to perform database operations in Go without relying on C bindings or external dependencies.

Developers choose Go-MySQL-Driver because it's a lightweight, fast, and fully featured driver maintained by the Go community, offering automatic connection handling, support for large queries, and compliance with Go's standard database/sql package without the overhead of C bindings.
