## What it is
EntityFramework.Extended is a C# add-on library for Entity Framework 6 providing batch delete/update, query caching, future queries, and audit features. It has been unsupported since 2015 and its maintainers recommend migrating to Entity Framework Plus (free) or Entity Framework Extensions (paid).

## Use cases
- batch delete and update entities in Entity Framework without loading them
- cache Entity Framework query results
- execute future queries in a single database round trip
- add auditing to Entity Framework changes
- filter queries with global query filters

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy EF6 codebase that already depends on it
- you need its specific batch or audit features and cannot migrate

## When to avoid
- starting any new project
- using Entity Framework Core
- you want supported or updated software - use Entity Framework Plus or Extensions instead

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: orm, database, caching
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, windows, cross-platform
- tags: entity-framework, batch-operations, query-cache, nuget, csharp, auditing
