## What it is
A Python library providing various utility functions, custom data types, and helpers for SQLAlchemy. It extends the ORM with extra column types and convenience functions.

## Use cases
- add custom column types to sqlalchemy models
- utility functions for sqlalchemy orm
- handle encrypted or json columns in sqlalchemy
- get database-agnostic helpers for sqlalchemy projects

## When to avoid
- you use an ORM other than SQLAlchemy
- you need a full ORM rather than utilities

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: orm, database, serialization, date-time
- domain: databases, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: python
- tags: sqlalchemy, datatypes, utilities, database-helpers
