Features

greenDAO has a unique set of features:

  • Rock solid: greenDAO has been around since 2011 and is used by countless famous apps
  • Super simple: concise and straight-forward API
  • Small: The library is <100K and it's just plain Java jar (no CPU dependent native parts)
  • Fast: Probably the fastest ORM for Android, driven by intelligent code generation
  • Safe and expressive query API: QueryBuilder uses property constants to avoid typos
  • V2.0.0 Powerful joins: query across entities and even chain joins for complex relations
  • V2.0.0 Flexible property types: use custom classes or enums to represent data in your entity

Asynchronous API

  • New AsyncSession (acquired from DaoSession.startAsyncSession()) provides most operations for DAOs, Queries, and transactions in a asynchronously variant
  • AsyncOperations are processed in order by a background thread
  • waitForCompletion methods for AsyncSession and AsyncOperations
  • AsyncOperationListener for asynchronous callback when operations complete
  • Asynchronous operations can be merged in single transactions (details follow)
  • Added raw SQL queries returning a Query object (LazyList support etc.)
