Waterline is an object-relational mapping (ORM) library for Node.js that provides a simple data access layer for managing databases. It supports various database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more, allowing developers to interact with different databases using a unified API. Waterline abstracts the database interactions, making it easier to perform CRUD operations, define models, and establish relationships between data entities.
Compared to other ORM libraries like Sequelize and TypeORM, Waterline stands out for its flexibility and adaptability to different database systems. It simplifies database management tasks and offers a schemaless approach, enabling rapid development and easy migration between databases.
