Doctrine 2 vs MyBatis: What are the differences?

Developers describe Doctrine 2 as "An object-relational mapper (ORM) for PHP 5.3.2+ that provides transparent persistence for PHP objects". 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. On the other hand, MyBatis is detailed as "SQL Mapper Framework for Java". 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.

Doctrine 2 belongs to "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" category of the tech stack, while MyBatis can be primarily classified under "Java Tools".

MyBatis is an open source tool with 11.5K GitHub stars and 7.26K GitHub forks. Here's a link to MyBatis's open source repository on GitHub.

Vend, LinkORB, and Cine-Loisirs are some of the popular companies that use Doctrine 2, whereas MyBatis is used by Jobsrepublic, Luxottica Retail, and Consignet. Doctrine 2 has a broader approval, being mentioned in 45 company stacks & 109 developers stacks; compared to MyBatis, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 16 developer stacks.
