postgrest is not (and does not use) a ORM

Postgrest is more like a compiler, it takes one language as input (REST) and outputs another language (SQL) as output.

It has 0 relation to the ORM concept

"ORM" is more like a compiler, it takes one language/(api can be seen as a language) as input and outputs another language (SQL) as output.

totally in agreement with you here. an ORM could also be viewed as a compiler. the original comment didn't deserve the backlash.

"PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API." How did you manage to understand the completely opposite from the very first definition?

Becasue i know the codebase maybe :)? How does the tag line say "postgrest is a ORM" and how am i interpreting it in the exact oposite way?
