RepoDB - a hybrid ORM Library for .NET.
RepoDB is an open-source .NET ORM library that bridges 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.
:wave: Hey Scott, thank you for endorsing RepoDB into the community of .NET.
To get the latest updates about this library, follow us on Twitter!
Benefits/Advantages
Like with any other ORMs, RepoDB does provide the preliminary methods needed for your basic operations. The good thing is, it 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.
RepoDB also 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.
Important Attributes
Easy-to-use - the operations were all implemented as extension methods of your IDbConnection object. For as long your connection is open, any operations can then be called against your database.
High performant - it caches the already-generated compiled expressions for future reusabilities and executions. It understands your schema to create the most optimal compiled expression AOT.
Memory efficient - it extracts and caches your object properties, execution contexts, object mappings and SQL statements. It is reusing them all throughout the process of transformations and executions.
High quality - it is a high-quality micro-ORM supported by 10K+ real-life Unit and Integration Tests. It is highly tested and is used by various critical systems that are running in the Production environment.

Package Referencing
By default, .NET is auto-resolving the references, however, we strongly recommend that you always explicitly reference the RepoDb core library. The rationale behind this is that, the RepoDb core library is a fast-moving package in which all the alpha/beta releases, hotfixes and/or even the actual releases could happen without affecting the extension libraries.
Please note that we are releasing an actual next released-version if the changes are having minimal impact but is important for the other users.
You can always target the version when installing the library, even it is on a semantic release.
> Install-Package RepoDb -version 1.x.x-betaX
.NET Type Coercion
By default, RepoDB does not do the automatic .NET CLR Type conversion during the serialization and deserialization process. The coercion support is completely dependent to the ADO.NET coercion capability.
It is in purpose to strictly notify you (as a library user) the design and/or the implementation problem of the entity model if being compared to its corresponding database table/view.
If you wish to have an automatic conversion, simply set the Converter.ConversionType property to Automatic.
RepoDb.Converter.ConversionType = ConversionType.Automatic;
Note: The exception that is being thrown is dependent to what the underlying ADO.NET coercion exception. If the Automatic conversion is used, the extracted value will always be evaluated and an additional conversion logic will be used (if needed). The conversion logic is through the AOT compilation of System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Convert and/or System.Convert.
Exception Handling
As the compiler exception is a bit low-level and is not descriptive for the native language, therefore, when compiling the process of hydration from/to the database and the application, a customized exception is being thrown to provide a detailed exception messages to the callers.
On the other hand, as part of the standard when writing code in RepoDB (i.e.: respect the default exception handling of .NET, ensure an unharmonized exception when bubbling up the exception messages), RepoDB does not contain a single line of code that catches and rethrowing any exception (try-catch statement). Any exception happens within the library whether it is an ADO.NET exception and/or whatever will be bubble up natively back to the callers.
Library Limitations
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.
Benchmark
The benchmark result shown on this section is the result of the community-approved ORM bencher tool, the RawDataAccessBencher tool.
Below is the actual recent official execution result.
RepoDB shows an impressive performance and memory-efficiency if being compared with other ORMs available in the .NET ecosystem. It has positioned itself just right behind the logic-less hand-coded materializer if being benchmark with .NET Core and .NET Framework. However, RepoDB is the fastest and the most-efficient ORM if being benchmark with .NET 5, even beating the hand-coded materializer.
Important Note
The AOT compilation (IL/Expression) has some degree of performance impact, even just for milliseconds, therefore, if you are to materialize RepoDB, it is highly recommended to always eliminate the first execution.
To avoid the bias, you as well should exclude the first execution of the other ORMs during the benchmarking.
