OrmLite's goal is to provide a convenient, DRY, config-free, RDBMS-agnostic typed wrapper that retains a high affinity with SQL, exposing intuitive APIs that generate predictable SQL and maps cleanly to disconnected and Data Transfer Object (DTO) friendly, Plain Old C# Objects (POCOs). This approach makes easier to reason-about your data access making it obvious what SQL is getting executed at what time, whilst mitigating unexpected behavior, implicit N+1 queries and leaky data access prevalent in Heavy Object Relational Mappers (ORMs).
Complex properties are blobbed using any of the pluggable text serializers, and POCO-friendly references provide a convenient API for persisting related models. OrmLite is amongst the fastest Micro ORMs for .NET and runs on both .NET Framework and .NET.
Getting Started
Get Started with OrmLite by installing your preferred RDBMS provider and configuring it with your .NET Application:
