+`MongoDB Drivers <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/>`__ offer idiomatic APIs
+and helpers for most  programming languages, but some applications are suited to higher level
+abstraction. In particular, developers may be used to interacting with data in a
+more declarative fashion, for example by using ActiveRecord for Ruby. `Object-Relational Mappers
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object%E2%80%93relational_mapping>`__ (or ORMs)
+can improve the developer experience customizing database interactions in the
+following ways: 
+
+* Abstracting away the need for query language.
+* Managing serialization/deserialization of data into objects.
+* Enforcing schema requirements.
+
+Because MongoDB is a non-relational database management system, ORMs are
+sometimes referred to as ODMs (Object Document Mappers), but the terms can be
+used interchangeably in the MongoDB domain. MongoDB, our
+`community
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/community-supported-drivers/>`__, and our
+partners provide several ODM libraries.
+
+The following are some examples of the best MongoDB ODM libraries for a number
+of programming languages, including Ruby, Python, Java, C#, Node.js, and PHP. 
+
+Ruby
+----
+
+Mongoid
+~~~~~~~
+
+The Mongoid ODM provides API parity with Rails wherever possible to ensure
+developers that are used to working with a `Ruby on Rails
+<https://rubyonrails.org/>`__ framework can use the methods and mechanics
+they’re already familiar with in ActiveRecord.  
+
+See the `Mongoid documentation
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongoid/current/>`__ for more information. 
+
+Python
+------
+
+Beanie
+~~~~~~
+
+Beanie is a third-party, asynchronous Python ODM based on `Pydantic
+<https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/>`__.  Beanie uses corresponding documents
+to interact with each database collection, and supports adding, updating, and
+deleting documents. Beanie saves you time by removing boilerplate code, and it
+helps you focus on the parts of your app that actually matter.
+
+See the `Beanie documentation <https://beanie-odm.dev/>`__ for more information.
+
+MongoEngine
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+MongoEngine is a third-party, synchronous Python ORM for MongoDB. It uses a
+simple declarative API and is built on top of the
+`MongoDB PyMongo Driver <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/pymongo/>`__. 
+
+See the `MongoEngine documentation <https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io/>`__
+for more information.
+
+Django
+~~~~~~
+
+Django MongoDB Backend is the official MongoDB integration for Django and
+MongoDB. This integration supports many core Django features, including the
+Django ORM. It translates Django ORM methods into equivalent MongoDB queries,
+allowing developers to use the familiar Django interface.
+
+See the `Django MongoDB Backend documentation
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/django-mongodb/current>`__ for
+more information. 
+
+
+Java
+----
+
+Spring Data MongoDB
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Spring Data MongoDB is a third-party Java ORM for MongoDB. The `Spring Data
+<https://spring.io/projects/spring-data>`__ project provides a familiar and
+consistent Spring-based programming model which is enhanced by
+MongoDB-specific features and capabilities. Spring Data MongoDB uses a
+POJO-centric model for interacting with collections and writing repository-style
+data access layers.
+
+See the `Spring Data MongoDB documentation
+<https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-mongodb>`__ or the `Spring Boot
+Integration with MongoDB Tutorial
+<https://www.mongodb.com/compatibility/spring-boot>`__ for more information. 
+
+.. TODO: Hibernate
+
+.NET/C#
+-------
+
+Entity Framework
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+MongoDB Entity Framework Core Provider (EF Core Provider) is the official
+intergration for MongoDB and EF Core. It allows developers
+using C# in the .NET ecosystem to use `Entity Framework Core
+<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/>`__ as their ODM which provides a
+familiar API interface, query paradigm (LINQ), and design pattern. 
+
+See the `EF Core provider documentation
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/entity-framework/current/>`__ for more
+information.  
+
+Node.js
+-------
+
+Mongoose
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Mongoose is a third-party Node.js-based ODM library for MongoDB. It enforces a specific
+schema at the application layer and offers a variety of hooks, model validation,
+and other features.
+
+See the `Mongoose documentation <https://mongoosejs.com/>`__ or `MongoDB &
+Mongoose: Compatibility and Comparison
+<https://www.mongodb.com/developer/languages/javascript/mongoose-versus-nodejs-driver/>`__
+for more information. 
+
+Prisma
+~~~~~~
+
+Prisma is a third-party ODM for Node.js and Typescript that fundamentally differs from
+traditional ORMs. It uses declarative Prisma schemas as the single
+source of truth for both your database schema and models. The Prisma client
+reads and writes data in a type-safe manner, and returns plain JavaScript objects.
+
+See `Prisma & MongoDB <https://www.prisma.io/mongodb>`__ for more information.
+
+PHP
+---
+
+Doctrine
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Doctrine is a third-party PHP MongoDB ODM. This library provides PHP object mapping
+functionality and transparent persistence for PHP objects to MongoDB, as well as
+a mechanism to map embedded or referenced documents. It can also create
+references between PHP documents in different databases and work with `GridFS
+buckets <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/write/gridfs/>`__.
+
+See the `Doctrine MongoDB ODM documentation
+<https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-mongodb-odm/en/latest/index.html>`__
+for more information. 
+
+Symfony
+~~~~~~~
+
+The Doctrine MongoDB ODM can be used to integrate MongoDB with
+the Symfony PHP framework. Doctine's object mapping enables developers to get
+the benefits of MongoDB features, such as flexible schema design
+and advanced searches, alongside Symfony's reusable components and streamlined
+web design.
+
+See the `Symfony MongoDB Integration page
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php-frameworks/symfony/>`__ for more
+information. 
+
+.. TODO? Drupal
+
+Laravel
+~~~~~~~
+
+Laravel MongoDB is the official integration for MongoDB and Laravel. It extends
+methods in the PHP Laravel API to provide developers the full suite of Laravel's
+Eloquent and Query Builder features while using MongoDB as their datastore.
+With this package, Laravel developers can take advantage of MongoDB's flexible schema
+and extensive capabilities, while maintaining familiar patterns, relationships,
+and features such as querying, caching, and more. 
+
+See the `Laravel MongoDB documentation
+<https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php/laravel-mongodb/current/>`__ for more
+information.
