Its README is explicit that Jet is not an ORM; the package instead generates Go types from database metadata so queries can be written as Go code that resembles SQL. ### Project history The go-jet/jet repository was created in 2019 and reached a 1.0 GitHub release the same year. The 2.x line also began in 2019, establishing the module path used by the documented `go install github.com/go-jet/jet/v2/cmd/jet` workflow. The project evolved as a generator plus runtime library. Release history and documentation show continuing additions around SQL dialect features, result mapping, and database support, with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, and MariaDB represented across the README and wiki. ### Adoption history Jet fits a Go community preference for explicit SQL and compile-time feedback. It occupies a middle position between handwritten `database/sql` calls, ORMs, and SQL-code generators: users still write query structure in Go, but the table, column, enum, and model types are generated from the database. Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix metadata in the input show adoption as a developer command as well as a Go library dependency. The formula packages the `jet` generator executable, which is the visible tool most package-manager users install. ### How it is used The documented workflow is to install the generator, point it at a running database or SQLite file, and choose an output path such as `./.gen`. Jet then generates SQL builder and model packages, after which application code imports those packages and builds typed SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, LOCK, and WITH statements. ### Why package nerds care Jet is package-nerd notable because the command name is tiny and generic, but the package represents a very specific Go database philosophy: generate just enough schema-aware code to make SQL construction typed while avoiding a full ORM identity map. ### Timeline - 2019: Public GitHub repository created for go-jet/jet. - 2019: v1.0.0 and v2.0.0 releases published on GitHub. - 2020: v2.4.0 release published on GitHub. - 2025: v2.13.0 release published with additional SQL-builder features. ### Related projects - Jet is closely related to Go's `database/sql` package, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, and MariaDB. It also sits in the same problem space as sqlc and Go ORMs, but its README distinguishes it from ORMs. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for jet.
