## Description

Prisma Client Rust is an object-relational mapping tool and database query builder designed for Rust applications. It functions by reading database schema definitions during the build process to generate strongly typed client code, ensuring that data structures are validated at compile time to prevent runtime errors.

The project distinguishes itself through its use of compile-time schema introspection and a trait-based query builder, which together enforce type safety across all database interactions. By mapping raw database rows directly into native Rust structures, it provides a consistent interface for data access that aligns with the application's schema.

The library supports efficient database operations through an asynchronous driver abstraction and allows for optimized binary sizes by enabling conditional compilation of database drivers. This approach ensures that only the necessary database connectors are included in the final build, streamlining the development of reliable server-side applications.
