Waterline ORM

Waterline is a next-generation storage and retrieval engine and the default ORM used in the Sails framework. Current stable version is 0.13.x (not published on npm as a standalone package with version 0.0.7 which is an abandoned fork). It provides a uniform API for accessing different databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.) via adapters. Key differentiators include promise/async-await support (no callbacks since v0.13), a modular adapter system, and consistency across adapters. Release cadence is tied to Sails.js major releases. Originally developed by Balderdashy, now maintained by the Sails community. This specific npm package 'water-orm' version 0.0.7 is a monolith fork of Waterline and is likely unstable/abandoned.
