Entity Framework is an open-source Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for .NET. It enables developers to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating the need for most of the data-access code they typically need to write.
About Entity Framework
Entity Framework was introduced by Microsoft in 2008 as part of the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. It was created to simplify data access by enabling developers to work with data using domain-specific objects, reducing the need for extensive SQL code.
Strengths of Entity Framework included its strong integration with the .NET ecosystem, ease of use for developers familiar with C#, and automatic handling of database schema changes. Weaknesses involved performance overhead compared to raw SQL and occasional complexity in managing migrations. Competitors included NHibernate, Dapper, and LINQ to SQL.
