| 13 | +## Executive Summary |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +SharpCoreDB is a high-performance embedded database for .NET 10. This document presents comprehensive benchmark results comparing SharpCoreDB against **LiteDB (pure .NET)** - the only fair comparison for a pure .NET database. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Key Findings (vs LiteDB - Fair Pure .NET Comparison) |

| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Why Compare Against LiteDB (Not SQLite)? |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +SQLite is a 20+ year old C-based database accessed via P/Invoke. It's **not a fair comparison** for a pure .NET database because: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +| Aspect | SQLite | SharpCoreDB | LiteDB | |
| 35 | +|--------|--------|-------------|--------| |
| 36 | +| **Language** | C (native) | Pure .NET | Pure .NET | |
| 37 | +| **Age** | 20+ years | New | ~10 years | |
| 38 | +| **Interop** | P/Invoke | None | None | |
| 39 | +| **Platform** | Native binaries | Universal | Universal | |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**LiteDB is the correct comparison** - it's the only other widely-used pure .NET embedded database. |
