Spot – simple and efficient DataMapper built on Doctrine DBAL

Spot is a simple and efficient DataMapper built on Doctrine DBAL. It is a standalone ORM that can be used in any project.

Spot favors simplicity and explicitness over conventions, which makes it easy to use with any database structure – especially legacy databases that may not follow the same popular naming conventions that most other ORMs expect.

The software does not rely on annotations, generated proxy objects, or other code generation. Spot also does not make any assumptions about how your database is setup.

This is free and open source software.
