MyBatis vs SQLAlchemy: What are the differences?

What is MyBatis? SQL Mapper Framework for Java. It is a first class persistence framework with support for custom SQL, stored procedures and advanced mappings. It eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results. It can use simple XML or Annotations for configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.

What is SQLAlchemy? The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper. SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

MyBatis can be classified as a tool in the "Java Tools" category, while SQLAlchemy is grouped under "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)".

MyBatis and SQLAlchemy are both open source tools. It seems that MyBatis with 11.5K GitHub stars and 7.26K forks on GitHub has more adoption than SQLAlchemy with 3.36K GitHub stars and 888 GitHub forks.

MonkeyLearn, WakaTime, and YOU-app are some of the popular companies that use SQLAlchemy, whereas MyBatis is used by Jobsrepublic, Luxottica Retail, and Consignet. SQLAlchemy has a broader approval, being mentioned in 46 company stacks & 122 developers stacks; compared to MyBatis, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 16 developer stacks.

      What are some alternatives to MyBatis and SQLAlchemy?
      Hibernate
      Hibernate is a suite of open source projects around domain models. The flagship project is Hibernate ORM, the Object Relational Mapper.
      Flyway
      It lets you regain control of your database migrations with pleasure and plain sql. Solves only one problem and solves it well. It migrates your database, so you don't have to worry about it anymore.
      Spring Data
      It makes it easy to use data access technologies, relational and non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud-based data services. This is an umbrella project which contains many subprojects that are specific to a given database.
      jOOQ
      It implements the active record pattern. Its purpose is to be both relational and object oriented by providing a domain-specific language to construct queries from classes generated from a database schema.
      Entity Framework
      It is an object-relational mapper that enables .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.
