Airpal vs Knex.js: What are the differences?
Developers describe Airpal as "Web UI for PrestoDB, by Airbnb". A web-based query execution tool built on top of Facebook's PrestoDB. On the other hand, Knex.js is detailed as "SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle". Knex.js is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It features both traditional node style callbacks as well as a promise interface for cleaner async flow control, a stream interface, full featured query and schema builders, transaction support (with savepoints), connection pooling and standardized responses between different query clients and dialects.
Airpal and Knex.js can be primarily classified as "Database" tools.
Airpal and Knex.js are both open source tools. It seems that Knex.js with 9.91K GitHub stars and 1.24K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Airpal with 2.53K GitHub stars and 437 GitHub forks.
