GORM is a full‑featured Object‑Relational Mapping (ORM) library for the Go programming language. It provides a developer‑friendly API for defining models, handling associations, migrations, and advanced query capabilities.

Use cases

Map Go structs to relational database tables and perform CRUD operations.
Define and manage complex associations such as has‑many, many‑to‑many, and polymorphic relations.
Execute batch inserts, eager loading with Preload, and transaction management with nested save points.
Leverage generics for type‑safe queries and operations in Go 1.18+.
Implement read/write splitting and monitoring via official plugins like database resolver and Prometheus.

When to choose

You need a mature, feature‑rich ORM for Go with built‑in support for associations, migrations, and plugins.
Your project benefits from type‑safe generics and a flexible hook system for custom logic.
You require advanced query capabilities such as upserts, locking hints, and context‑aware execution.

When to avoid

You prefer raw SQL for maximum performance or minimal abstraction.
Your application is written in a language other than Go.
You need a lightweight library with a tiny footprint and no ORM features.
