## What it is
ORMLite Android is the Android-specific companion package to ormlite-core, providing lightweight object-relational mapping for persisting Java objects to the native Android SQLite database. It uses annotations, DAO classes, and a QueryBuilder while avoiding the complexity of heavier ORM frameworks.

## Use cases
- persist java objects to sqlite on android
- lightweight orm for android app database
- map java classes to android sqlite tables with annotations
- query android sqlite database with a query builder
- avoid hibernate complexity in an android app
- dao pattern for android local database

## When to choose
- you want a simple, annotation-based ORM on Android without heavy dependencies
- you need DAO classes and flexible query building over Android SQLite
- you prefer minimal overhead over full-featured ORMs like Hibernate

## When to avoid
- you need JDBC access to server databases like MySQL or Postgres - use ormlite-jdbc instead
- you want a modern ORM with reactive APIs or Kotlin-first design
- you need advanced ORM features like lazy loading or complex caching

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
