Entity Framewok

Entity Framework (EF) is an open-source Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for .NET, developed by Microsoft, that simplifies data access by allowing developers to work with databases using .NET objects. EF eliminates the need for most SQL code, enabling a more intuitive and maintainable approach to database operations. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, migrations, and lazy loading, making it ideal for building modern, data-driven applications. With Entity Framework Core, developers can build cross-platform applications with strong performance and flexibility. EF boosts productivity and ensures cleaner, more testable code when working with relational databases.
