1.3 Introduction to RedBean

A Typical ORM solution requires a developer to design a database model first, write and maintain corresponding XML, YAML or JSON files to specify the mappings and model objects in the php language itself. Also if the database changes conversionscripts need to be written, all configuration files need to be checked and models might have to be adjusted. This is a lot of work and it frustrates scalability of projects because it’s often not a very wise idea to work without proper ORM solutions if your projects has a potential to grow large; datastructures may become unmaintainable resulting in bugs and architectural difficulties.

RedBean is designed to get rid of these boring tasks and focus on developing the functionalities you really want. This WIKI explains how Redbean works and what it has to offer.
