Reform is a type-safe ORM for Go built on database/sql, using non-empty interfaces, code generation, and initialization-time reflection instead of runtime reflection and interface{}. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Use cases

• map Go structs to SQL database tables
• type-safe database queries in Go without runtime reflection
• work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, or SQL Server from Go
• generate ORM model code with go generate
• CRUD operations over database/sql

When to choose

• you want a simple, type-safe ORM layered on database/sql
• you prefer code generation over runtime reflection
• you need support for multiple SQL dialects including SQL Server

When to avoid

• you need advanced ORM features like complex associations or migrations
• you prefer query builders or raw SQL without code generation
• you need a heavily maintained project with frequent updates
