    Entity Framework is an object-relational mapper. This means that it can return the data in your database as an object (e.g.: a Person object with the properties Id, Name, etc.) or a collection of objects.

    Why is this useful? Well, it’s really easy. Most of the time you don’t have to write any SQL yourself, and iterating is very easy using your language built in functions. When you make any changes to the object, the ORM will usually detect this, and mark the object as ‘modified’. When you save all the changes in your ORM to the database, the ORM will automatically generate insert/update/delete statements, based on what you did with the objects.
