A high-performance ORM for Python with support for migrations, relations, and caching.
Hermes ORM is a modern Python ORM designed for simplicity, flexibility, and performance. With support for relational mappings, migrations, and advanced querying, Hermes ORM is tailored for developers who need a powerful yet intuitive tool for managing database operations in their applications.
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-Many, and polymorphic Morph relationships.Install Hermes ORM via pip:

Define models that represent your database structure:
from hermes.model import BaseModel
from hermes.fields import IntegerField, StringField, ForeignKeyField
class User(BaseModel):
id = IntegerField(primary_key=True)
name = StringField(max_length=255, nullable=False)
class Post(BaseModel):
id = IntegerField(primary_key=True)
user_id = ForeignKeyField("User", nullable=False)
content = StringField(nullable=False)
Use the CLI to generate and apply migrations:
hermes make_migration create_users_table create
hermes migrate
Perform operations on your models:
# Create a user
user = User(name="Alice")
user.save(db_connection)
# Fetch all posts
posts = Post.all(db_connection)
# Add a post for a user
post = Post(user_id=user.id, content="Hello, Hermes!")
post.save(db_connection)
