Lalit Maganti's syntaqlite is currently being discussed on Hacker News thanks to Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI, a deep dive into how it was built.

This inspired me to revisit a research project I ran when Lalit first released it a couple of weeks ago, where I tried it out and then compiled it to a WebAssembly wheel so it could run in Pyodide in a browser (the library itself uses C and Rust).

This new playground loads up the Python library and provides a UI for trying out its different features: formating, parsing into an AST, validating, and tokenizing SQLite SQL queries.

Update: not sure how I missed this but syntaqlite has its own WebAssembly playground linked to from the README.
