postgrex

Uses PostgreSQL's binary protocol for data encoding, reducing overhead compared to text-based protocols and improving performance, as stated in the README's key features.

Automatically decodes and encodes common PostgreSQL types like integers, dates, and UUIDs into Elixir values, simplifying data handling with built-in support.

Allows user-defined extensions for custom or unsupported PostgreSQL types, enabling flexibility for complex data types, demonstrated in the extensions directory.

Integrates with DBConnection for transactions, prepared queries, and connection pooling, ensuring reliable database interaction management.

Supports JSON via Jason with configurable alternatives, though recompilation is required for changes, offering adaptability in JSON handling.
