Doctrine 2 vs DBFlow: 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, DBFlow is detailed as "*Simple ORM android database library *". It is fast, efficient, and feature-rich Kotlin database library built on SQLite for Android. It utilizes annotation processing to generate SQLite boilerplate for you and provides a powerful SQLite query language that makes using SQLite a joy.
Doctrine 2 and DBFlow belong to "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" category of the tech stack.
DBFlow is an open source tool with 4.67K GitHub stars and 597 GitHub forks. Here's a link to DBFlow's open source repository on GitHub.
