Waterline: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Waterline is an object-relational mapping (ORM) library for Node.js that provides a simple data access layer for managing relational databases. It abstracts away the complexities of SQL queries and database interactions, allowing developers to work with database records as JavaScript objects. Waterline supports multiple database systems and provides a unified API for performing CRUD operations, data validation, and associations between different data models.
Compared to other ORM libraries like Sequelize and TypeORM, Waterline stands out for its flexibility and ease of use. It offers a schemaless approach, allowing developers to define data models on the fly and adapt to changing requirements easily.
