apkg libs around:

https://github.com/repeat-space/anki-apkg-export
https://github.com/fasiha/fuzzy-anki (small footprint, not a lib)
⭐️ https://github.com/NdYAG/anki-apkg (Typescript, successor of anki-apkg-export)

apkg is a zipped instance of SQLite. There is a browser implementation of SQLite, but it is heavy. I believe extensions should be as small as possible, to reduce burden on the user's browser. So the only feasible solution so far is to create deck on a server

troggy commented 5 years ago

not going to implement. Reasons:

will make the extension too heavy if we incorporate SQLite or will require a backend for preparing apkg
CSV is more flexible, can be used for anything. apkg is for Anki only

Compromise solution would be to create a separate CSV → APKG tool and expose it via HTTP. Separate project though
