Knex is a SQL query builder for Node.js that allows you to interact with relational databases using JavaScript. It provides a fluent interface for building queries, making it easy to create complex SQL statements without writing raw SQL. Knex supports multiple database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others, offering flexibility in database management.

Compared to traditional ORMs, Knex offers more control and transparency over the generated SQL queries, making it suitable for developers who prefer working directly with SQL. Knex is actively maintained with regular updates and a strong community support, ensuring compatibility with the latest Node.js versions and database features.
