What is EF Core?
EF Core (Entity Framework Core) is a modern, lightweight, cross-platform, and open-source object-relational mapper (ORM) for .NET. It enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating the need to write most of the data-access code themselves. EF Core supports many database engines and is commonly used for building data-driven applications.
