Some projects even weren't created for ORM or DBAL, just like +our Skeleton-Mapper. + +The [Skeleton-Mapper project](https://github.com/doctrine/skeleton-mapper) won't be maintained anymore because of +its lack of usage nowadays and is now an archived repository. The Doctrine Skeleton-Mapper +was an object mapper where you are responsible for implementing the object mapping of the +persistence operations. This means you write plain old PHP code for the data repositories, +object repositories, object hydrators and object persisters. A lot of freedom but also a lot +of work for a developer, including its maintenance for us. + +Some projects grow and others become obsolete after some time, which are 9 years in +the case of our Skeleton-Mapper. We also want to express our gratitude to +[the contributors](https://github.com/doctrine/skeleton-mapper/graphs/contributors) +and maintainers who kept this project alive for so long. Thank you.
