Precisely my point, you don't need an ORM with this LanderDB, but you'd need it with SQLite (unless you like using raw SQL, which is a fine preference too, of course).

I'm not saying LanderDB is the best option and as smt88 wrote there certainly are many alternatives. I'm just noting that LanderDB doesn't seem to occupy the same niche as SQLite.
EDIT: oh, and I'm in no way involved with LanderDB, I just saw it a couple minutes ago :)

One possible use-case for this I recently discovered is storing bookmarks in Chrome (https://klibert.pl/output/jq_and_chrome_bookmarks.html).
