Fields, tables, and triggers let Blackberry, Android, and iPhone devices access information kept in SQLite. Desktop apps, online browsers like Firefox and Chrome, and instant messaging tools all support storing data using the file extension.

D. Richard Hipp developed the concept for the 2000 file format year. His goal was to let users execute the program without requiring the installation of a database manager or system of database administration.
