Massive is a small, dynamic MicroORM for .NET built on the Expando/dynamic type, distributed as source files you compile into your project. It supports SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite via ADO.NET providers with minimal setup and no external dependencies.

Use cases

• query a database with minimal boilerplate in .NET
• lightweight data access without a full ORM
• run simple CRUD operations against SQL Server or SQLite
• use dynamic objects instead of typed models for database rows
• drop-in source files for quick database access in a C# project

When to choose

• you want a tiny, hackable data-access layer with no dependencies
• your project prefers dynamic typing over generated entity classes
• you need quick database access in a small .NET application

When to avoid

• you need rich ORM features like migrations, change tracking, or lazy loading
• you prefer strongly-typed LINQ-based querying
• you need an actively developed library with a large community
