# Libraries and ORMs Source: https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/categories/library/ Facet: Categories — every value: https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/categories/ 47 projects are libraries and orms, listed alphabetically. Written in 6 languages, most of them open source. A library is code an application imports to do one job: talk to a database, validate input, fetch and cache data, render Markdown, translate an interface, or connect a back end to a front end. ORMs and query builders, which map database tables to objects in code, are the largest group. A library brings no application structure of its own, which is where it differs from a [web framework](/categories/framework/). A record carries this category when it is installed as a dependency and called from the application's code. A package that belongs to one framework names it under "Built on". Zod and Prisma ORM are examples. ## Software (47) - [Active Record](https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/activerecord/) — https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/activerecord.md - [aiohttp](https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/aiohttp/) — https://findsoftware.frbit.cloud/aiohttp.md -

We can't tell from here. What suits an editor-heavy marketing site can be wrong for a static documentation site. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. --- Data licensed CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Attributes are recorded, never scored; absent means unknown.
