Fluent NHibernate is a .NET library providing fluent, XML-free, compile-safe, convention-based mappings for the NHibernate ORM. It supports both a fluent mapping interface and automated mapping driven by conventions.

Use cases

  • map C# entities to a database without XML files
  • configure NHibernate mappings with a fluent API
  • auto-map classes by convention
  • get compile-time safety for ORM mappings
  • replace hbm.xml mapping files in a .NET project

When to choose

  • you use NHibernate and want to eliminate XML mapping files
  • you prefer convention-based auto mapping in .NET
  • you want mappings checked at compile time

When to avoid

  • you use Entity Framework or another ORM instead of NHibernate
  • you need a very actively developed ORM with frequent releases
