Other ORM frameworks
In-house company frameworks
If you use your own ORM Framework created especially for your company environment we can prepare support especially for this framework. We have experience with support of such customized frameworks for any language. Supported schema files formats might be Xml, Yml, annotations or directly generated code. If you are interested contact us at [email protected].
Publicly available frameworks
We are continuously extending the range of Skipper features and supported frameworks. We are keeping an eye on the ORM framework trends and also listening to our community to determine which framework or framework extension to add next.
Individually customized frameworks
Additionally, the Skipper allows very high degree of customization regarding the framework support. It is even possible to define ORM framework support yourself. Information you will need to do this are described in the Expert usage section of our documentation. This configuration might be very time-consuming so you are welcome to contact [email protected] and we will help you.
