Should I use this library?

Pros

  • The active record pattern is perfectly suited for building REST services (create, read, update, delete)
  • It is a lot faster and less complex than Datamapper ORM implementations
  • Small code footprint
  • Easy to write unit tests (record & replay fixtures can automatically be created, see existing test suite)
  • Built on top of Doctrine DBAL
  • Part of the Symlex framework stack for agile Web development

Cons

  • While you can get commercial support, this library is not backed by a major company and has a small community
  • Don't use it if you are not comfortable reading at least small amounts of library code (you're welcome to ask for help via email or send additional docs as pull request)
