sqlex: A Drop-In Replacement for Unmaintained Go SQL Library sqlx
sqlex is a fully API-compatible fork of the popular Go SQL library jmoiron/sqlx, which has seen no releases since 2021. It fixes over 20 bugs, adds auto-IN expansion, a hook system, and JSON column support. Migration requires only changing the import path, making it a trivial upgrade for existing sqlx users.

While sqlx was a solid library, its abandonment left users exposed to unfixed bugs; sqlex offers a pragmatic, low-risk path forward without a rewrite.
