NORM: No ORM Framework
summary
Claims an ORM causes many tiny round trips and replaces it with NORM — No‑ORM Framework that maps application model and database model to a JSON transport contract, implemented as PostgreSQL user‑defined types and stored functions. Examples and code at https://github.com/hettie-d/NORM show creation, search, update and delete working in one call, an array_transport to JSON text used to return strong‑typed payloads, and a reduction from hundreds of DB calls per page to single optimized queries.
