Are there any Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) solutions implemented for the Go language?

Yes, there are several popular ORM libraries for the Go language that facilitate working with databases by providing an abstraction over SQL queries. Among them:
- GORM — one of the most popular ORM for Go, supports many databases, migrations, associations, etc.
- Ent — a modern ORM with code generation and a convenient API.
- XORM — a simple and lightweight ORM supporting basic functions.
Example of using GORM:
import (
"gorm.io/driver/sqlite"
"gorm.io/gorm"
)
type User struct {
ID uint
Name string
}
func main() {
db, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("test.db"), &gorm.Config{})
if err != nil {
panic("failed to connect database")
}
// Automatic migration
db.AutoMigrate(&User{})
// Create a record
db.Create(&User{Name: "Alice"})
// Read a record
var user User
db.First(&user, 1)
}
Using ORM allows writing cleaner and more maintainable code, especially when working on large projects.
