Hello Dev.to
Agile Data (https://github.com/atk4/data) implements an approach of DataSet abstractions - implemented in PHP. While it is similar to ORM in syntax - it operates on an entirely different level, allowing you to dynamically build multi-table queries, abstract away expression logic, and introduce extensions (such as soft-delete). All of that integrates into UI directly) making ATK a "low-code" framework that makes you write very little code.
