The Doctrine Project is an open-source PHP project that is home to several PHP libraries primarily focused on database storage and object mapping. At the core of the Doctrine Project are the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) and the Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) it is built upon. With an impressive track record since 2006, Doctrine offers a stable and high-quality codebase.

It boasts extremely flexible and powerful object-mapping and query features, making it a preferred choice for developers. Doctrine provides support for both high-level and low-level database programming, catering to all your use-cases. What sets Doctrine apart is its large and vibrant community, along with integrations with various frameworks like Symfony, Laravel, and Laminas.

Many popular PHP projects, including Symfony, Drupal, and Laravel, rely on libraries from Doctrine. By supporting the project, you contribute to its continuous development and improvement. For enterprise users, Doctrine is available as part of the Tidelift Subscription, providing commercial support and maintenance for your open-source dependencies
