DBFlow vs Sugar ORM: What are the differences?

DBFlow: *Simple ORM android database library *. It is fast, efficient, and feature-rich Kotlin database library built on SQLite for Android. It utilizes annotation processing to generate SQLite boilerplate for you and provides a powerful SQLite query language that makes using SQLite a joy; Sugar ORM: A database persistence library that provides a simple and concise way to integrate your application models into SQLite. It is a database persistence library that provides a simple and concise way to integrate your application models into SQLite. It eliminates writing SQL queries to interact with SQLite db.

DBFlow and Sugar ORM can be categorized as "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" tools.

Some of the features offered by DBFlow are:

Feature-rich
Kotlin database library
Built on SQLite

On the other hand, Sugar ORM provides the following key features:

A simple, concise, and clean integration process with minimal configuration
Automatic table and column naming through reflection
Support for migrations between different schema versions

DBFlow and Sugar ORM are both open source tools. It seems that DBFlow with 4.67K GitHub stars and 597 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Sugar ORM with 2.61K GitHub stars and 614 GitHub forks.

What are some alternatives to Sugar ORM, DBFlow?

Sequelize

Sequelize is a promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, read replication and more.

Prisma

Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and makes database access easy with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript & Node.js.

Hibernate

Hibernate is a suite of open source projects around domain models. The flagship project is Hibernate ORM, the Object Relational Mapper.

Doctrine 2

Doctrine 2 sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL), inspired by Hibernates HQL.

MikroORM

TypeScript ORM for Node.js based on Data Mapper, Unit of Work and Identity Map patterns. Supports MongoDB, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases.

Entity Framework

It is an object-relational mapper that enables .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.

peewee

A small, expressive orm, written in python (2.6+, 3.2+), with built-in support for sqlite, mysql and postgresql and special extensions like hstore.

MyBatis

It is a first class persistence framework with support for custom SQL, stored procedures and advanced mappings. It eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results. It can use simple XML or Annotations for configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.

Entity Framework Core

It is a lightweight, extensible, open source and cross-platform version of the popular Entity Framework data access technology. It can serve as an object-relational mapper (O/RM), enabling .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, and eliminating the need for most of the data-access code they usually need to write.
