# JavaScript API reference

This document describes the JavaScript API for Turso. The API is implemented in two different packages:

- **`bindings/javascript`**: Native bindings for the Turso database.
- **`packages/turso-serverless`**: Serverless driver for Turso Cloud databases.

The API is compatible with the libSQL promise API, which is an asynchronous variant of the `better-sqlite3` API.

## Functions

#### connect(path, [options]) ⇒ Database

Opens a new database connection.

The `path` parameter points to the SQLite database file to open. If the file pointed to by `path` does not exists, it will be created.
To open an in-memory database, please pass `:memory:` as the `path` parameter.

The function returns a `Database` object.
