# aaberg/sql2o

sql2o is a small library, which makes it easy to convert the result of your sql-statements into objects. No resultset hacking required. Kind of like an orm, but without the sql-generation capabilities. Supports named parameters.

## What it is
Sql2o is a small Java library that maps JDBC query results directly into POJOs with named parameter support, acting like an ORM without SQL generation. It simplifies database interaction to a few lines of code while keeping full control over SQL.

## Use cases
- map sql query results to java objects
- execute jdbc queries without resultset boilerplate
- run parameterized sql with named parameters
- manage database transactions in java
- lightweight alternative to full orm frameworks

## When to choose
- you want to write your own sql but avoid resultset mapping boilerplate
- you need a lightweight database layer without orm overhead
- you prefer named parameters and simple transactions over jpa complexity

## When to avoid
- you need automatic sql generation, schema management, or lazy loading
- you want a full orm with entity relationships and caching
- you are not on the jvm or not using a jdbc-compliant database

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, orm, database-driver
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: jdbc, pojo-mapping, sql, named-parameters, lightweight
