In the other OSs not listed above, the pure-java SQLite is used. (Applies to versions before 3.7.15)

If you want to use the native library for your OS, link:./CONTRIBUTING.md[build the source from scratch].

=== JARs

Since version `3.53.0.0` multiple JARs are published with different classifiers:

|===
|Classifier|Content
|Default jar|Classes + all native libraries (except Android)
|`without-natives`|Classes only
|`natives-all`|Only native libraries (except Android)
|`natives-linux`|Only native libraries for Linux
|`natives-mac`|Only native libraries for Mac
|`natives-windows`|Only native libraries for Windows
|`natives-freebsd`|Only native libraries for FreeBSD
|`natives-android`|Only native libraries for Android
|===

=== GraalVM native-image support

Sqlite JDBC supports https://www.graalvm.org/native-image/[GraalVM native-image] out of the box starting from version 3.40.1.0.
