Basically this library provides the mean to create a list of objects from a TDataset.
Then around, you have all the bells and whistles to use these lists in the most common contexts where you usually use a TDataset. For example to edit a field value, instead of using a TDBEdit component you can use a TChamp_Edit.
In a dataset, you can have access to one line at a time. But with this mapping you can build complex relations between all the objects, directly reflecting the underlying UML class diagram. For example in our planning software, tasks are read from a single table and end up displayed in a tree. Each object-task can be connected to objects representing teams, employees, vehicles, tools, a bit like a piece of fabric.
You can get several different views of this fabric, listing the planning of an employee,
or the affectations of a tool. May be it's not completely impossible to achieve with datasets, but it's a lot more easier to do this way.
