About jLynx

In a nutshell jLynx is a simple, lite, hi-performance layer over the JDBC API. Persist and retrieve POJOs from the database. Designed for developer productivity, it is simple to configure and deploy. No XML configuration. YAML configuration is recommended, though now optional (as of v1.7).

Excellent choice for small applications or prototyping. Pick the right tool for the job; and when the job is simple, jlynx is a good choice.

Fewer peristence features than the well-known alternatives, yet jLynx capably handles CRUD operations with minimal configuration, hassle and complexity. jLynx is perfectly suited for small or mid-size applications (or micro-sized embedded applications due to it's small footprint). jLynx is best suited for Java developers who have a good understanding of databases and SQL.

jLynx can generate POJOs based on your database schema. For example, if you have 24 tables and views in your database, jLynx will create 24 objects with fields that map to the column names in each table.

jLynx has all the necessary methods to persist objects and fetch entire collections of objects. jLynx leverages the strengths of SQL and the strengths of Java without having to write/maintain J2EE code. It is truly the best of both worlds.
