## What it is
Sugar ORM is a Java library that provides a simple, minimal-configuration ORM for SQLite databases on Android. It maps Java model classes to database tables automatically via reflection and supports schema migrations.

## Use cases
- persist android app data to sqlite without writing sql
- save and query java objects in an android database
- simple orm for android app models
- migrate android database schema between app versions
- replace raw sqliteopenhelper boilerplate in android apps

## When to choose
- you want a tiny, zero-configuration ORM for a small Android app
- you prefer active-record style models with save(), delete(), and find()
- you need automatic table naming and simple schema migrations

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with recent updates and support
- you need advanced ORM features like complex joins, reactive queries, or multi-platform support
- you are starting a new project - the README itself suggests alternatives like requery or Realm

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, database
- domain: mobile-development, databases, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: sqlite, android-orm, active-record, schema-migrations, android, mobile
