| description.long | An open-source Go framework that lets developers define database schemas as Go code and automatically generates type-safe query builders. It supports multiple SQL and graph databases, schema migrations, and complex data model traversal. | Sequelize is an ORM that bridges JavaScript and TypeScript applications with multiple relational databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, Snowflake, and DB2. It provides declarative schema modeling, relationship definitions, transaction support, and flexible data loading strategies. |
