typelevel/skunk

Skunk is a functional, type-safe PostgreSQL client for the JVM, JavaScript, and Native platforms. It provides a comprehensive codec system for serializing and deserializing data types, including JSON, PostGIS geometries, and custom enums. The library features a modernized API with support for SQL fragments, channels, and streaming, while also offering robust error handling, observability via OpenTelemetry, and cross-platform networking abstractions.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 3 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit a1fdebe2fc — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
