HighLite - new ORM for Android

[Jesper Åman]

Hi guys!

As the title states, I've created an ORM.

Some nice features:

* Automatic migrations
* Support for foreign keys and relationships
* Support for inheritance
* Built with annotation processing
* Reactive API

You can find it here. Please try it out if you feel like it, any feedback is appreciated.

Nice work. Does this offer similar functionality to the built-in Android data persistence library, called "Room"?

Hi! Well, depends on what functionality of Room you are referring to; but yes and no. Room has some stuff that this does not, the way you interact with the database is a bit different; in Room you have the @dao interfaces you provide with custom queries, whereas in HighLite you have a central operator class from which operations are carried out.
I would say the biggest strength of HighLite compared to other database libraries are the automatic migrations and handling of foreign keys.
