Overview

Entity Framework (EF) is a popular object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for .NET developers. It enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write. EF supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations.
