MySQL Data Access Components vs. SQLite Data Access Components vs. VisualEditor vs. dbExpress Drivers Comparison Chart

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with MySQL. MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) is a library of components that provides direct access to MySQL and MariaDB from Delphi and C++Builder, including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Applications based on MyDAC can connect directly to MySQL server or work through the MySQL client library. MySQL Data Access Components are designed to help programmers develop MySQL database applications faster and easier. MyDAC is a complete replacement for standard MySQL connectors and presents an efficient alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for access to MySQL.

The VisualEditor project by the Editing team aims to create a reliable rich-text editor for MediaWiki. VisualEditor is available as a MediaWiki extension using the Parsoid project to supply HTML+RDFa; however, its core implementation can be run without any of MediaWiki, Parsoid, or Node.js. As of 2020, the visual editor is available to all users at MediaWiki.org and on almost all Wikipedias and Wikivoyages. On most other Wikimedia projects and languages, it is available as an opt-in Beta Feature to logged-in users. VisualEditor is only available in some namespaces, including the main namespace, but generally not in discussion or template namespaces. The decline in new contributor growth was viewed as the single most serious challenge facing the Wikimedia movement. VisualEditor was built with the goal of removing avoidable technical impediments associated with Wikimedia's editing interface, as a necessary pre-condition for increasing the number of Wikimedia contributors.
