Entity Framework – EF

Entity Framework is a technology from Microsoft that enables software applications to interact with databases more easily by handling data as objects rather than tables. This approach enables developers to focus on the logic of their applications, rather than writing complex code to interact directly with databases.

It serves as an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM), which automatically translates between the programming language and the database language, such as SQL. With Entity Framework, developers can perform tasks such as retrieving, saving, or deleting data using simple commands in their programming language. This simplifies the development process, reduces errors, and allows applications to change or grow without needing extensive rewrites of database code.
