Ecto is the official Elixir library that serves as a database wrapper and integrated query system, enabling developers to define schemas, construct and execute type-safe queries, manage database migrations, and validate data via changesets; it is the foundational tool for working with relational databases in Elixir.

Features

  • Repository abstraction to handle data access and persistence via adapters such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
  • Schema definitions mapping database tables to Elixir structs
  • Composable, secure query DSL in native Elixir syntax
  • Changeset support for data validation and transformation before persistence
  • Support for database migrations (version-controlled schema changes)
  • Explicit, type-safe data handling avoiding hidden state
