Entity Framework 6 (EF6)
Entity Framework 6 is a modern object-relational mapper (ORM) for .NET that enables developers to work with databases using .NET objects, eliminating the need for most of the data-access code they typically need to write.
EF6 supports a wide range of database providers and offers features like Code-First, Database-First, and Model-First development approaches. It has been a cornerstone for data access in many .NET applications for years.
