Similar packages

Other packages similar to sequelize

mongoose

Mongoose is an ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB and Node.js. It manages relationships between data, provides schema validation, and is used to translate between objects in code and the representation of those objects in MongoDB. Compared to Sequelize, Mongoose is specific to MongoDB, whereas Sequelize supports multiple SQL databases.

typeorm

TypeORM is an ORM that can run in Node.js and be used with TypeScript and JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8). It supports the Data Mapper pattern, unlike Sequelize which is more Active Record. TypeORM is highly influenced by other ORMs, such as Hibernate, Doctrine, and Entity Framework.

knex

Knex.js is a SQL query builder for Postgres, MSSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, Oracle, and Amazon Redshift, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It does not provide full ORM capabilities but allows you to build and run SQL queries in a more programmatic and database-agnostic way. It is often used with objection.js, which is an ORM built on top of Knex.

bookshelf

Bookshelf.js is a JavaScript ORM for Node.js, built on the Knex SQL query builder. It features transaction support, eager/nested-eager relation loading, and polymorphic associations. Bookshelf follows a somewhat similar pattern to Sequelize but is built on top of Knex, which gives it a different flavor in terms of query building.
