Best ORM & Database Libraries

ORM and database packages simplify database interactions for Node.js applications by abstracting away raw SQL queries. They offer various approaches, including object-relational mapping (ORM) for SQL databases like TypeORM, Kysely, Drizzle-ORM, Knex, and Sequelize, and object-document mapping (ODM) for NoSQL databases like Mongoose. Prisma offers a modern approach with a schema-first paradigm and type safety. These tools help manage database schemas, perform CRUD operations, and handle complex queries more efficiently.
