## What it is
Entity Framework Plus is a free, open-source .NET library that extends EF6 and EF Core DbContexts with features like Batch Delete, Batch Update, Auditing, Query Cache, Query Future, and Include Filter. It improves Entity Framework performance and overcomes ORM limitations via IQueryable extension methods.

## Use cases
- delete thousands of rows in a single database roundtrip without loading entities
- batch update entities matching a filter in one SQL statement
- audit who changed what and when via SaveChanges
- cache query results in EF
- filter included navigation properties with IncludeFilter
- execute future queries in a single database roundtrip
- add global query filters to a DbContext

## When to choose
- you use EF6 or EF Core and need bulk delete/update without loading entities
- you need change auditing built into SaveChanges
- you want query caching or deferred/future queries in Entity Framework
- you need to overcome EF limitations like filtered includes

## When to avoid
- you need bulk insert/merge operations, which are paid features of Entity Framework Extensions
- you use an ORM other than Entity Framework, such as Dapper or NHibernate
- you want a pure SQL approach and don't use an ORM

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: orm, caching, database, middleware
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend, performance
