Speedment is an open-source Java Stream ORM toolkit and runtime. The toolkit analyzes the metadata of an existing SQL database and automatically creates a Java representation of the data model. This powerful ORM enables you to create scalable and efficient Java applications using standard Java streams with no need to type SQL or use any new API. Speedment was originally developed by researchers and engineers based in Palo Alto with the purpose to simplify and streamline the development of Java database applications by leveraging the Java Stream API. Speedment is licensed under the business-friendly Apache 2 license. Contribution from users is encouraged. Please feel free to request new features, suggest improvements and file bug reports. Assuming you have Maven installed and a relational database available, you can start using Speedment in a minute. Automatic Java representation of the latest state of your database eliminates boilerplate code and the need of manually writing Java.
