ORM is a rapidly growing and popular methodology that provides clear advantages to the developer: Eliminates the fragility of coding CRUD statements to persist data to and from the database Allows logic, business rules and validation to be introduced to the data Provides domain objects that are easy to customise and manage in code Hides the differences between various databases or data sources Saves vast amounts of coding effort
