Falcon vs TypeORM: What are the differences?

What is Falcon? High-performance Python framework for building cloud APIs and web app backends. Falcon is a minimalist WSGI library for building speedy web APIs and app backends. We like to think of Falcon as the Dieter Rams of web frameworks.

What is TypeORM? An ORM that can run in NodeJS and others. It supports both Active Record and Data Mapper patterns, unlike all other JavaScript ORMs currently in existence, which means you can write high quality, loosely coupled, scalable, maintainable applications the most productive way.

Falcon and TypeORM can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.

Some of the features offered by Falcon are:

Intuitive routing via URI templates and resource classes
Easy access to headers and bodies through request and response classes
Idiomatic HTTP error responses via a handy exception base class

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

automatically create the database table schemes based on your models
transparently insert / update / delete to the database your objects
map your selections from tables to JavaScript objects and map table columns to object properties

Falcon and TypeORM are both open source tools. TypeORM with 14.4K GitHub stars and 1.85K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Falcon with 6.88K GitHub stars and 710 GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Falcon has a broader approval, being mentioned in 12 company stacks & 29 developers stacks; compared to TypeORM, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.
