Sequelize is a powerful Node.js ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library for handling relational databases. It provides an easy-to-use API for defining models, relationships, and executing complex queries while abstracting away the underlying SQL syntax. Sequelize supports multiple database dialects such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MSSQL, making it versatile for various projects.
Compared to other ORM libraries like TypeORM and Bookshelf, Sequelize offers comprehensive documentation, a large community, and a wide range of plugins and extensions. It is actively maintained with regular updates and bug fixes, ensuring compatibility with the latest Node.js and database versions.
