Drivers and ORMs
Connect applications with your database
Applications connect to and interact with YugabyteDB using API client libraries (also known as client drivers). Because the YugabyteDB YSQL API is PostgreSQL-compatible, and the YCQL API has roots in the Apache Cassandra CQL, YugabyteDB supports many third-party drivers.
In addition to the compatible upstream PostgreSQL drivers, YugabyteDB also supports smart drivers, which extend the PostgreSQL drivers to enable client applications to connect to YugabyteDB clusters without the need for external load balancers.
