Toasty: An Easy-to-use Object-Relational Mapping for Rust

An object-relational mapping (ORM) is a layer that lets you work with a database using native types instead of writing queries directly. In Rust terms, an ORM maps tables to structs, rows to struct instances, and columns to fields, handling serialization, deserialization, and query construction for you.

Toasty is an experimental new ORM for Rust that prioritizes ease of use. It supports both SQL databases as well as some NoSQL databases, including DynamoDB and Cassandra. Rather than hiding the database's capabilities, Toasty exposes features based on the target database.

Carl Lerche, Toasty's designer, is also the original designer of the Tokio asynchronous runtime library.
