• 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 if: You want net applications that require database interactions, as it simplifies data access by abstracting sql queries into c# or vb 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 offers.
