Doctrine Persistence is a PHP library providing common interfaces and abstractions shared by Doctrine's object mappers (ORM, ODM, etc.). It defines contracts for object managers, repositories, and persistence operations rather than implementing storage itself.

Use cases

• decouple application code from a specific Doctrine object mapper implementation
• type-hint against stable persistence interfaces in PHP libraries
• build custom object mappers compatible with the Doctrine ecosystem
• swap between Doctrine ORM and MongoDB ODM without changing persistence code
• write framework integrations that support any Doctrine mapper

When to choose

• you are building a PHP library that should work with any Doctrine object mapper
• you need stable interfaces for object persistence instead of concrete ORM dependencies
• you are developing a custom Doctrine-compatible mapper or integration

When to avoid

• you need an actual working ORM with query building and database drivers - use Doctrine ORM instead
• your project does not use Doctrine or its ecosystem
• you want a standalone persistence solution with no Doctrine dependency
