Midnight (formerly known as Flyweight) is an ORM for SQLite and NodeJS.
Midnight combines a very simple API for performing basic operations, with the ability to create SQL queries that are parsed by the ORM.
Tables are created the same way as they are in SQL. The native types available in strict mode are integer, real, text, blob, and any. In addition to these types, four additional types are included by default: boolean, date, and json.
Object–relational mapping (ORM) is a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems using object-oriented programming languages. This creates, in effect, a “virtual object database” that can be used from within the programming language.
In essence, ORM is a design pattern for converting (wrapping) that data stored within a relational database into an object that can be used within an object oriented language. It creates a layer between the language and the database, helping programmers work with data without the OOP paradigm.
This is free and open source software.
