CaminteJS is a cross-database ORM for Node.js that provides a common interface for defining models and accessing many popular SQL and NoSQL databases. It ships with adapters for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, MongoDB, Redis, CouchDB, Neo4j, RethinkDB, Firebird, TingoDB, ArangoDB, Cassandra, Riak, and more.

Use cases

• use one ORM across mysql, postgres, and sqlite
• switch databases without rewriting model code
• define models and relationships for mongodb in nodejs
• access redis or neo4j through a common ORM interface
• prototype an app with sqlite then move to postgres
• manage database schemas and indices from nodejs

When to choose

• you need a single ORM API over many SQL and NoSQL databases in Node.js
• you want database-agnostic models so you can swap backends easily
• you maintain a legacy Node.js codebase already using Caminte or JugglingDB-style ORMs

When to avoid

• you need an actively developed ORM with modern async/await-first APIs
• you use TypeScript and want strong type-safe query building
• your project only targets one database and a native driver or modern ORM like Prisma fits better
