Koa vs Propel ORM: What are the differences?
Developers describe Koa as "Next generation web framework for node.js". Koa aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Through leveraging generators Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware. On the other hand, Propel ORM is detailed as "*A free and open-source object-relational mapping toolkit *". It is an open-source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) for SQL-Databases in PHP 5.5. It allows you to access your database using a set of objects, providing a simple API for storing and retrieving data.
Koa and Propel ORM are primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" and "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Koa are:
- Provides 3 different kinds of functions as middleware
- common function
- async function
On the other hand, Propel ORM provides the following key features:
- Highly customizable and blazing fast
- ORM library for PHP 5.5+
- Supports schema migration for MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL
Koa and Propel ORM are both open source tools. It seems that Koa with 27.6K GitHub stars and 2.55K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Propel ORM with 1.1K GitHub stars and 310 GitHub forks.
