### *Why is Hive better?*

Hive eases better-sqlite3, eliminating the complex structures in the module. Each function Hive-db has, is a translation of better-sqlite3 thus helping to ease the database formula, therefore, helping you as a developer to put more stress on your paradigm.

#### **Throughout the documentation we're going to go through the functions that Hive-db provides you!**
