Cycle ORM

Cycle is a PHP DataMapper ORM and Data Modelling engine designed to safely work in classic and daemonized PHP applications (like RoadRunner). The ORM provides flexible configuration options to model datasets, a powerful query builder, and supports dynamic mapping schemas. The engine can work with plain PHP objects, support attribute declarations, and proxies via extensions.
