What is ORM

Can anyone tell me about the ORM. What it actually does and what's the benifit of using a ORM in project.

And from where I can learn ORM and use a library based on ORM.

Is medoo good as a database library? And I continue my development using medoo.?

Thanks

You can read more about ORM from here:

Quote:

An ORM library is a completely ordinary library written in your language of choice that encapsulates the code needed to manipulate the data, so you don't use SQL anymore; you interact directly with an object in the same language you're using.

I think this describes it pretty well overall.

I have used medoo, and it works pretty well, but laravels Eloquent is way easier to work with, especially when it comes to relationships with other tables.
