What is EF?

EF, or Entity Framework, is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for .NET. It enables developers to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating the need to write most of the data-access code themselves. It's commonly used to simplify database interactions in .NET applications, allowing developers to query, insert, update, and delete data using LINQ and C# or VB.NET code.
