Software Tree
Introduces NJDX, The KISS OR-Mapper™ for .NET
NJDX Drives The Complexity Out Of .NET/Database Integration Efforts
Free Licenses Available For Limited Time
Santa Clara,
Calif. November 21, 2005:
Software Tree has introduced today the NJDX 1.0 Object-Relational Mapper
(OR-Mapper), which dramatically
reduces the complexity of developing modern object-oriented applications
on the .NET platform by eliminating the painful need to write huge
amounts of complicated infrastructure code for data integration. Adhering to some well thought-out
KISS (Keep It Simple and Straightforward) principles, NJDX provides
smooth integration with popular databases including Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft Access. NJDX has also been tightly integrated with Visual
Studio .NET and can be used with any CLR-based language including C#,
VB.NET, and J#.
NJDX provides a
high-performance, user-friendly, and practical OR-Mapping solution for
seamlessly bridging the gap between the .NET object model and SQL
relational model. By eliminating endless lines of tedious
ADO.NET/OleDB/SQL code, NJDX boosts developer productivity and reduces
maintenance hassles.
The KISS principles that
have served as the guiding philosophy behind development of NJDX include:
·
Solve the most important problem in the simplest
possible way
·
Don’t make the solution more complex than the
original problem
·
Be completely non-intrusive to the object
model
·
Make it easy to define, modify, comprehend,
and share the mapping specification
·
Avoid source code generation for data access
·
No mind reading
·
Expose small number of simple and consistent
APIs
·
Optimize data access logic automatically
·
Keep the internal implementation simple,
extensible, and efficient
·
Offer intuitive tools to deal with object
models, database schema, and mapping
·
Provide a straightforward installer, lucid
documentation, and readymade examples
“NJDX
is an amazingly simple and intuitive OR-Mapper,” says Bill Ryan, a
Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). “I'm extremely impressed with
just about every facet of it.
NJDX is powerful, flexible, easy-to-use, performant, reliable, and
most importantly, it fits seamlessly into any architectural model.”
“Software Tree has been a pioneer in the field
of Object-Relational Mapping technology,” comments Damodar Periwal,
President & CEO of Software Tree. “In March 1998, we released JDX™, our innovative and
patented OR-Mapping product for the Java platform.
.NET developers have long been clamoring for a fast, flexible, and practical
OR-Mapping solution. We are
delighted to present NJDX, the KISS OR-Mapper for .NET, to help those
developers with a versatile and efficient data integration product. Software Tree now has a unique set of
lightweight OR-Mapping products (JDX and NJDX), which share a common
proven architecture and present similar interfaces for both the Java and
the .NET worlds.”
Availability and Pricing
NJDX 1.0 software is
available now. To celebrate
it’s entry into the .NET market, Software Tree is offering free licenses
of NJDX for a limited time only. Please visit the company website for more
details including demos, a white paper on the KISS principles,
