Introduction
============

The DoctrineORMModule leverages `DoctrineModule <https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-module/en/current/index.html>`__
and integrates `Doctrine ORM <https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/current/index.html>`__
with `Laminas <https://getlaminas.org/>`__ quickly and easily. The following features are intended
to work out of the box:

  - Doctrine ORM support
  - Multiple ORM entity managers
  - Multiple DBAL connections
  - Reuse existing PDO connections in DBAL connection
