Mask Databases

Overview / Description

Mask Databases is an AI developer tool that lets Node.js and TypeScript teams write database queries and schemas in plain English instead of raw SQL or query-builder syntax. Distributed as the mask-databases npm package, it works as a natural-language ORM: you describe a schema in plain English and Mask generates real schemas for your database engine, then you replace SQL statements or aggregation pipelines with English prompts like MaskDatabases.prompt("fetch all users"). A single CLI compile step (node mask.compile.cjs) turns every prompt into production-ready, deterministic database code, so there is no runtime AI and no unpredictable output at query time. Because queries are compiled once and locked in, they run at full native speed with 0ms AI overhead during execution. Mask is schema-aware and understands your exact table shapes, and it supports 8+ databases including MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Neo4j behind the same English interface, so switching engines does not require learning a new query language. It is aimed at developers who want more readable, reviewable data-layer code and faster onboarding without hand-writing queries.

Used For
