Dapper

Object mapper library for .NET that runs SQL through ADO.NET database connections and maps the results to typed objects.

Dapper is an object mapper for .NET that extends ADO.NET database connections with methods for running SQL and mapping the results to typed objects. A project adds it as a NuGet library. The repository also ships related packages, including Dapper.Rainbow, a micro-ORM built on Dapper, and Dapper.SqlBuilder, a component for building SQL queries dynamically.

Worth knowing

The README names Dapper Plus, a separate commercial library, as a major sponsor of the project. Dapper Plus is not part of Dapper.
