About
Microsoft's ORM for .NET. First-class ORM for .NET with LINQ queries, migrations, and change tracking. The default data layer for ASP.NET Core apps.
What it does
A toolkit that lets .NET programs read, write, and update database records by working with ordinary objects in code instead of writing raw database queries by hand, and can also generate or evolve a database structure to match those objects over time.
