Objection.js is a Node.js ORM built on top of Knex that provides a model-based interface for relational databases. It maps database tables to JavaScript models and supports rich relation graphs, including one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relations, with eager and lazy loading capabilities. The query API combines traditional SQL with a fluent, expressive syntax, enabling complex graph queries, nested relations, and graph inserts or updates via upsertGraph. Validation and schema definitions can be defined with JSON schema, and transactions integrate smoothly with Knex transaction handling. Objection works with major SQL databases through Knex adapters, and it leverages a lightweight, plugin-friendly design that fits well in both small and large codebases.
