It would be the biggest irony ever if the web settles on sql.js [1] plus persistance based on IndexedDB.
Then to comfortably store data, we would have SQLite running in WebAssembly persisting the data via the awkward IndexedDB API which uses the comfortable SQLite API to store the data in native SQLite.
Not ironic at all. One of the arguments against WebSQL and for IndexedDB was that the web platform should incorporate a lower level API and that the library ecosystem could then experiement with how to interact with that API at a higher level.
