Slim vs Propel ORM: What are the differences?
Slim: A PHP micro framework. Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Slim favors cleanliness over terseness and common cases over edge cases. Its interface is simple, intuitive, and extensively documented — both online and in the code itself; Propel ORM: *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.
Slim can be classified as a tool in the "Microframeworks (Backend)" category, while Propel ORM is grouped under "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)".
Slim and Propel ORM are both open source tools. It seems that Slim with 10.2K GitHub stars and 1.88K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Propel ORM with 1.1K GitHub stars and 310 GitHub forks.
