Is there a good JavaScript SQL parser for the front end?


There seem to be a variety of not-mature options. What do you use, when you had to do this for the front end?

Antlr4 supports a javascript target [1] and has parsers for most popular SQL dialects [2]

If I may ask, why are you parsing SQL in the client?
