What is Spot?
Spot is a simple and efficient DataMapper built on the Doctrine DBAL (not to be confused with Doctrine ORM, which is also built on the DBAL).
Spot favors simplicity and explicitness over conventions, which makes it easy to use with any database structure - especially legacy databases that may not follow the same popular naming conventions that most other ORMs expect.
No Magic
Spot has no “magical” behavior that will lead to confusion. Spot does not rely on annotations, generated proxy objects, or other code generation. Spot also does not make any assumptions about how your database is setup.
Requirements
Spot requires a modern version of PHP (5.4+)
