EntityDAC by Devart is a robust Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework for Delphi, designed to streamline database application development by integrating object-oriented programming principles with database operations.

• Visual ORM Model Designer with Code Generation: Utilize Entity Developer to create and edit ORM models visually, eliminating the need for manual coding and enhancing productivity.
• LINQ Support for Database-Independent Queries: Employ Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to write database-independent queries directly in Delphi code, simplifying data retrieval and promoting code consistency.
• Flexible Development Approaches: Choose from Database-First, Model-First, or Code-First development methodologies to suit your project requirements, offering versatility in application design.
• Comprehensive Data Access Component Support: Seamlessly integrate with various data access components, including Devart's UniDAC, ODAC, SDAC, MyDAC, IBDAC, PgDAC, LiteDAC, as well as standard and third-party providers like ADO, IBX, dbExpress, FireDAC, BDE, DOA, FIBPlus, NexusDB, and Zeos, ensuring broad compatibility.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Develop applications for multiple platforms, including Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), macOS (64-bit and ARM), Linux (64-bit), iOS (64-bit), and Android (32-bit and 64-bit), expanding your application's reach.
• Advanced Object-Relational Mapping Features: Benefit from features like lazy loading, entity caching, nullable types support, auto-generated property values, and cascade save and delete operations, enhancing application performance and maintainability.
• Support for Various Association Types: Implement complex data relationships with support for One-to-One, One-to-Many, and Many-to-Many associations, facilitating accurate data modeling.
• Entity Inheritance Mapping: Utilize Table-per-Type and Table-per-Hierarchy inheritance strategies to model complex data hierarchies effectively, promoting code reuse and clarity.
• Design-Time and Run-Time Data Binding: Leverage TDataSet-compatible components and live-binding support to bind controls and retrieve data both at design-time and run-time, enhancing the development experience.
• Entity and Query Caching: Improve application performance by caching metadata, entities, and LINQ queries, reducing redundant data loading and accelerating data access.
