RepoDb is an open-source .NET ORM library that bridge the gaps of micro-ORMs and full-ORMs. It helps you simplify the switch-over of when to use the BASIC and ADVANCE operations during the development.

It is your best alternative ORM to both Dapper and EntityFramework.

👋 Hey Scott, thank you for endorsing RepoDb into the community of .NET.

Like with any other ORMs, RepoDb does provide the preliminary methods needed for your basic operations (i.e.: CRUD). The good thing is, RepoDb also does provide the operations that is needed to cater your edge-cases like 2nd-Layer Cache, Tracing, Repositories, Property Handlers and Batch/Bulk Operations.

If you are to use RepoDb, your development experience is as simple as Dapper when opening a connection and is as simple as Entity Framework when executing an operation. It is the reason that makes this library the simpliest ORM to use.

When you do the bulk operations, the generated value of the identity columns will be set back to the data models, just right after your execution. It is an important use-case that is/may needed by you and/or most developers, and both the BulkInsert and BulkMerge operations addressed this need.

In addition, RepoDb does support the different way-of-executions (the atomic, the batch and the bulk). Through this, it is easy for you to establish your repository that can process the smallest-to-the-largest datasets without even affecting the efficiency and the performance of your application.

It is very important for you and to the community of .NET to learn the things the library is capable and is-not capable of doing, so please spend time reading the limitation page before using the library.

We would like to make RepoDb the mainstream hybrid-ORM library for .NET technology. Please help us build and realize the solution.
