Low level postgres wire protocol parser and serializer written in Typescript. Used by node-postgres. Needs more documentation. :smile:
The `pg` package is a popular PostgreSQL client for Node.js. It provides a higher-level API for interacting with PostgreSQL databases, including connection pooling, query building, and transaction management. Unlike `pg-protocol`, which focuses on low-level protocol handling, `pg` abstracts away the details of the wire protocol and provides a more user-friendly interface.
The `pg-promise` package is another PostgreSQL client for Node.js that focuses on using promises for asynchronous operations. It provides a rich set of features for query building, transaction management, and connection pooling. Similar to `pg`, it abstracts away the low-level protocol details handled by `pg-protocol` and offers a more convenient API for developers.
The `node-postgres` package, also known as `pg`, is a comprehensive PostgreSQL client for Node.js. It includes support for connection pooling, query streaming, and prepared statements. Like `pg` and `pg-promise`, it provides a higher-level API compared to `pg-protocol`, making it easier to work with PostgreSQL databases without dealing with the wire protocol directly.
