- Like Dapper, it's fast because it uses dynamic method generation (MSIL) to assign column values to properties
- Like Massive, it now also supports dynamic Expandos too
- Like ActiveRecord, it supports a close relationship between object and database table
- Like SubSonic, it supports generation of poco classes with T4 templates (V5 only)
- Like Massive, it's available as a single file that you easily add to any project or complied. (V5 only)
- Tiny, and absolutely no dependencies!
- Asychronous (aka async) or synchronous: the choice is yours. (V6)
- Works with strictly undecorated POCOs, or attributed almost-POCOs.
- Easy to configure, including fluent configuration out of the box.
- Helper methods for Insert/Delete/Update/Save and IsNew
- Paged requests automatically work out the total record count and fetch a specific page.
- Easy transaction support.
- Better parameter replacement support, including grabbing named parameters from object properties.
- Great performance by eliminating Linq and fast property assignment with DynamicMethod generation.
- The query language is good'ole SQL.
- Includes a low friction SQL builder class that makes writing inline SQL much easier.

Save an entity
db.Save(article);
db.Save(new Article { Title = "Super easy to use PetaPoco" });
db.Save("Articles", "Id", { Title = "Super easy to use PetaPoco", Id = Guid.New() });Get an entity
var article = db.Single<Article>(123);
var article = db.Single<Article>("WHERE ArticleKey = @0", "ART-123");Delete an entity
db.Delete(article);
db.Delete<Article>(123);
db.Delete("Articles", "Id", 123);
db.Delete("Articles", "ArticleKey", "ART-123");Plus much, much more.
