Overview
PawQL is an open-source ORM package for Node.js designed to make database interaction simple and efficient. Instead of wrestling with verbose SQL and boilerplate, developers get a clean, modular API that handles queries in an intuitive and maintainable way.
Built to be framework-agnostic and ready to use, PawQL supports multiple database engines — PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite — so the same familiar interface works across projects. It is published on NPM as an open-source project and is ready to be installed and used right away.
