Sequelize is a powerful Node.js ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library for handling relational databases. It provides an easy-to-use API for defining models, relationships, and executing complex queries while abstracting away the underlying SQL syntax. Sequelize supports various database dialects like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MSSQL, making it versatile for different projects.
Compared to other ORM libraries like TypeORM and Bookshelf, Sequelize offers comprehensive documentation, a large community, and a wide range of features such as data validation, eager loading, and transaction support. It is actively maintained with regular updates and improvements, making it a reliable choice for database interactions in Node.js applications.
