Waterline is an object-relational mapping (ORM) library for Node.js that provides a high-level abstraction for interacting with databases. It supports multiple database systems, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more, allowing developers to switch between databases easily without changing their codebase. Waterline simplifies database operations by providing a unified interface for creating, querying, updating, and deleting records.

Compared to other ORM libraries like Sequelize and TypeORM, Waterline stands out for its flexibility and database-agnostic approach. It offers a schemaless design, making it suitable for rapid prototyping and projects where the database schema may evolve over time.
