Entity Framework Core vs NHibernate

Developers should use EF Core when building meets developers should learn nhibernate when building . Here's our take.

Entity Framework Core

Nice Pick

Developers should use EF Core when building

Pros

• NET applications that require database interactions, as it simplifies data access by allowing LINQ queries and automatic change tracking
• Related to: c-sharp, asp-net-core

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

NHibernate

Developers should learn NHibernate when building

Pros

• NET applications that require complex data models and database interactions, as it simplifies data access by eliminating much of the boilerplate SQL code
• Related to: c-sharp, object-relational-mapping

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Entity Framework Core if: You want net applications that require database interactions, as it simplifies data access by allowing linq queries and automatic change tracking and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use NHibernate if: You prioritize net applications that require complex data models and database interactions, as it simplifies data access by eliminating much of the boilerplate sql code over what Entity Framework Core offers.

The Bottom Line

Entity Framework Core wins

Developers should use EF Core when building
