SQLModel is a Python library designed to facilitate interaction with SQL databases through Python objects and type annotations, eliminating the need for writing direct SQL queries. Developed by the creator of FastAPI, SQLModel serves as an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) that translates between classes and SQL, enhancing code clarity, readability, and security. It is built on SQLAlchemy and incorporates Pydantic for data validation, serialization, and documentation. SQLModel supports type annotations by default, offers integrated IDE support, and simplifies testing with expected results. It provides a more elegant and safer approach to performing CRUD operations by allowing developers to work with database records as Python objects, leveraging SQLAlchemy and Pydantic features. Users can perform operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting database records using sessions and Python code, avoiding the complexities and potential errors associated with embedding SQL queries in Python scripts.
