**Storage** is a simple ORM developed for [MOSS framework](https://github.com/mossphp/moss) as completely independent library. In philosophy similar to *Data Mapper* pattern that allows moving data from object instances to database, while keeping them independent of each other.

*Active Record* brakes single responsibility principle (by extending some some base class), bloats entire design... and adds unnecessary coupling. **Storage** approaches this differently. Entities have no direct connection to database, business logic stays uninfluenced by repositories. The only connection between entities and database is in **Storage** itself - in models that describe how entities relate to repositories.

Two examples (assuming that corresponding model exists):

```
$article = $storage->readOne('article')
	->where('id', 123)
	->with('comment', array(array('visible' => true)))
	->execute();
```

This will read article entity with `id=123` and with all its visible comments.

```
$obj = new Article('title', 'text');
$obj->comments = array(
	new Comment('It\'s so simple!', 'comment_author@mail'),
	new Comment('Yup, it is.', 'different_author@mail'),
);

$storage->write($obj)->with('comment')->execute();
```

This would write article entity into database with set comments.
