ORM

Object-Relational Mapping

Definition

An ORM maps database tables to programming language objects, allowing developers to interact with databases using familiar object-oriented syntax instead of raw SQL. ORMs handle query generation, relationship mapping, and migrations.

Popular ORMs include Prisma (TypeScript), SQLAlchemy (Python), and Hibernate (Java).
