Persism 2.4: Lightweight Java ORM with Zero Dependencies

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Persism 2.4 is a zero-ceremony ORM for Java, featuring auto-discovery and convention-over-configuration. The 100KB jar has 465 unit tests with 97% code coverage and supports 11 databases with no dependencies. This release targets developers seeking a minimal, test-covered ORM alternative.

Meridian48 take
A niche but solid tool for Java devs tired of heavy ORMs, though its 'zero ceremony' claim may oversimplify real-world complexity.
