Dapper is a single file you can drop in to your project that will extend your IDbConnection interface.
[…]A key feature of Dapper is performance. The following metrics show how long it takes to execute 500 SELECT statements against a DB and map the data returned to objects.
The performance tests are broken in to 3 lists:
- POCO serialization for frameworks that support pulling static typed objects from the DB. Using raw SQL.
- Dynamic serialization for frameworks that support returning dynamic lists of objects.
- Typical framework usage. Often typical framework usage differs from the optimal usage performance wise. Often it will not involve writing SQL.
