在Go语言世界中，beego orm、gorm、sqlx、gorp、xorm是我已知在Github中stars数最多Go数据库框架，这几个都是Go语言世界中老牌数据库框架库。

其中beego orm是beego自带的orm框架库，统计star数的时候是按beego的star数统计的（beego之前还有一个数据库框架 beedb，由于谢大在2014年就未在维护此库，所以没有出现在我的统计列表中）。

而sqlx和xorm则是笔者最喜欢和实际开发中最多使用的Go数据库框架库。值的一提的是sqlx还有3个扩展库，一个是sqalx，它使sqlx提供对嵌套事务的支持，另外两个名字都叫sqlt，其中第一个 sqlt库，使sqlx支持sql模板和类mybatis的sql配置；第二个sqlt库，则使sqlx支持数据库主从数据源，读写分离；

另外一个值的一提的是xorm也有一个定制增强版xormplus/xorm，使得xorm支持sql模板和类mybatis的sql配置，支持动态sql，支持嵌套事务，支持类似Java中Spring的事务传播机制。同时它和xorm一样内置支持SQL Builder。

最后还有一个比较有意思的Go数据库框架库是argen，它在具体实现中使用了annotation方式，这在Go语言开发库中是比较少见的，对笔者而言是一个值得阅读源码和学习的库，它使Go语言又多了一种思维方式。

在实际开发中笔者经常是依据业务复杂度，数据库sql复杂度，在sqlx、xorm和xormplus/xorm中进行数据库框架库选型，笔者大多数时候更倾向xormplus/xorm。如果您也有好的Go语言数据库框架推荐，不妨在留言区留言，大家一起交流分享。

下面是我整理的Go语言数据库框架列表，其中有一些源代码很是小巧精悍（虽然star数不多，但我还是罗列出来了），非常适合学习阅读，帮助自己提高对Go语言程序库的设计实现的理解。
