Entity Framework Core vs GINO: What are the differences?

Entity Framework Core: *Lightweight and cross-platform version of the popular Entity Framework *. 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; GINO: A non-typical ORM library in Python for asyncio. It is a non-typical object-relational mapping library in Python for asyncio, built on top of SQLAlchemy core and asyncpg, aiming for explicitness and productivity.

Entity Framework Core and GINO can be categorized as "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" tools.

Some of the features offered by Entity Framework Core are:

Lightweight
Extensible , Cross Platform
ORM

On the other hand, GINO provides the following key features:

Run SQLAlchemy core queries on asyncpg
Optional non-intrusive objective API
Advanced loader system to assemble objects from row results

Entity Framework Core and GINO are both open source tools. It seems that Entity Framework Core with 8.99K GitHub stars and 2.3K forks on GitHub has more adoption than GINO with 1.34K GitHub stars and 85 GitHub forks.

What are some alternatives to Entity Framework Core, GINO?

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.

SQLAlchemy

SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

Dapper

It is an object-relational mapping product for the Microsoft.NET platform: it provides a framework for mapping an object-oriented domain model to a traditional relational database.
