RedBeanPHP: Open Source Object-Relational Mapping Framework

A lightweight and efficient ORM framework for PHP, allowing developers to map database tables to PHP objects without excessive code

What is RedBeanPHP?

RedBeanPHP is an open source object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for PHP that makes it easier for developers to interact with databases in their PHP applications. It abstracts away much of the data access code and allows developers to map database tables to PHP objects.

Some key features of RedBeanPHP include:

• Automatic mapping of database tables to PHP objects/models
• Intuitive and fluent API for querying, inserting, updating and deleting data
• Support for relationships between objects for things like JOINs
• Database schema modification and migration tools
• Caching and performance optimization capabilities
• Works with most major database platforms like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.

By handling most of the database interaction code, RedBeanPHP allows developers to focus on the business logic and UI/UX of their PHP apps. It aims to reduce time spent on tedious data access code. The library has an MIT license and has been downloaded over 12 million times.
