WIP: v2 #5

Closed qurben closed 6 years ago

qurben commented 7 years ago

Rework some things.

The definition part is inspired by Doctrine orm, which is also a datamapper orm.

Changes

Split up entity and definition.
- Definition is now done with XML
- Entities do hardly contain any logic.
Remove sparse entities, might come back but the way it was implemented it was just another way of retrieving entities from the database.

The idea when creating this framework was keeping it thin and lightweight (no dependencies!). I think using XML is way to verbose. Just migrate to a full-fat ORM library, instead of turning this into one. (Just my 2 cents.)

I agree, this branch was an idea to try to implement something to make the orm on par with some of the larger ones. It didn't really work out though.
