JStORM: A New JavaScript Object-Relational Mapper

Category: Database, JavaScript

Uriel Katz wrote in to tell us that he's burned his GearsORM framework to the ground to create the entirely new JStORM framework, announced in his blog. JStORM currently supports Google Gears, Aptana Jaxer, and Adobe AIR, but it's still bleeding edge: no documentation yet, just code. But the feature-set is interesting:

* define your tables as models.
* full CRUD support.
* events on(Before/After)Delete/Save/Update.
* SQL LIMIT/OFFSET support.
* order by support.
* automatic creation of tables.
* selecting and deleting over relations.
* easy iterating with each syntax like in Ruby,support for query chaining and more.
* basic introspection support.
* transaction support.
* self relations.
* support multiple backends and multiple dialects,currently MySQL (in Jaxer only) and Sqlite (Jaxer, Gears and AIR).
