named-placeholders

Compiles SQL queries with named placeholders (:name) to unnamed positional parameterized queries (?) with a separate array of values. Version 1.1.7 (April 2026) is current; maintained under mysqljs organization on GitHub. Key differentiator: lightweight, zero-dependency solution for converting named placeholders in SQL strings for use with mysql/mysql2 or any ?-based driver. Handles nested quotes and escape sequences properly. Active development with frequent bug fixes.
