Which would be the best ORM for the codeigniter framework. I saw some similar questions but it was too old and the link didn't work. Can anyone help me out with this?

Answer 1

DataMapper

Doctrine

NOTE: You must do some workaround to integrate this with CI, try here.

EDIT: Doctrine, integrating with CodeIgniter (working URL). This might not work for all CodeIgniter versions and may require slight adjustments.

Answer 2

I've used Doctrine a number of times with CI and I love it. As I understand it there are two different ways to integrate CI with it, you can either install it as a plugin or use hooks.
