Overview

Entity Framework is the standard ORM for .NET. It abstracts database operations, allowing you to work with databases using C# objects instead of raw SQL.

Why Entity Framework?

  • Less Code: Write less boilerplate data access code.
  • Database Agnostic: Support for multiple database providers.
  • Type Safety: Compile-time checking of queries.
  • LINQ Support: Query databases using LINQ.
  • Migrations: Automatic schema migration tools.
