Doctrine is a PHP database abstraction layer and Object Relational Mapper (ORM). It was originally developed for Symfony2 application development, but can be used for any PHP application. Doctrine allows developers to replace SQL queries with objects and methods to simplify database access. It also offers many advanced features, such as caching, eager loading, lazy loading and much more.
