Data Model Generator

The Data Model Generator is a set of code generation tools that augments the Entity Framework ORM. The ServerDataModelGenerator creates an in-memory cache from an XSD description. The RestApiGenerator creates a RESTful API Web Application (Web API) for accessing and managing your data from the web. ORM products are great for reading or writing, but fail catastrophically when asked to do both. A write-through, in-memory cache solves this problem. In just minutes, you can have a cached database that's fast enough to handle any task you have and a robust RESTful web interface to get at your data.

Creating and maintaining a complex data model is a snap with Data Model Generator. You describe your tables and relations with an XSD Schema file (very similar to how Visual Studio DataSets are managed). The tools will automatically generate a multi-user, in-memory database for you backed by an Entity Framework store and a full-featured RESTful API for .NET Core MVC or MVC6. Please visit our Wiki at Getting-Started for a step-by-step guide to get started. In 10 minutes you can create a high-performance, cached database application with a fully function RESTful API.

Advanced engineers will find a full-featured set of primitives for building smart transactions which can significantly reduce the stress on your database applications. The in-memory data model will act like a traffic cop to your relational database back-end and allows you to program around scenarios that would deadlock an ordinary ORM. With the proper design, you can expect to reach the maximum TPS rating on your database servers even with heavy real-time reads on your front end.

The Data Model Generator is the perfect compliment to Entity Framework. New and existing designs will benefit from the power of automatically generated Entities, DbSets and their relations. You'll no longer have to maintain your RESTful API by hand and you get the power and speed of a multi-user, in-memory database.
