Waterline
An adapter-based ORM for Node.js that provides a uniform API for MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and other databases.
What is Waterline?
Waterline is an adapter-based ORM for Node.js that provides a uniform API for interacting with multiple databases like MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and more. It solves the problem of writing different code for each database by abstracting data operations into a consistent interface, making it easier to switch or use multiple datastores in a single application.
Node.js developers building applications that need to interact with multiple database types or who want to avoid vendor lock-in, particularly those using or considering the Sails framework.
Developers choose Waterline for its adapter-based architecture that ensures consistency across databases, its support for modern async/await patterns, and its modular design that emphasizes testability and ease of integration with various data stores.
