Welcome to the Doctrine Project

The Doctrine Project is the home of a selected set of PHP libraries primarily focused on providing persistence services and related functionality. Its prize projects are a Object Relational Mapper and the Database Abstraction Layer it is built on top of. You can read more about the projects below or view a list of all projects.

Doctrine Projects

  • Database Abstraction Layer

    Powerful database abstraction layer with many features for database schema introspection, schema management and PDO abstraction.

  • Object Relational Mapper

    Object relational mapper (ORM) for PHP that sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL), inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains flexibility without requiring unnecessary code duplication.

  • MongoDB Object Document Mapper

    Doctrine MongoDB Object Document Mapper is built for PHP 5.3.2+ and provides transparent persistence for PHP objects.
