Doctrine 2 vs Objection.js: 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, Objection.js is detailed as "It is an ORM for Node.js". It aims to stay out of your way and make it as easy as possible to use the full power of SQL and the underlying database engine while still making the common stuff easy and enjoyable.
Doctrine 2 and Objection.js can be categorized as "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" tools.
Objection.js is an open source tool with 4.26K GitHub stars and 344 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Objection.js's open source repository on GitHub.
Vend, LinkORB, and Cine-Loisirs are some of the popular companies that use Doctrine 2, whereas Objection.js is used by Tuup Oy, Habx, and Welltory.
