• Like Dapper, it's fast because it uses dynamic method generation (MSIL) to assign column values to properties
• Like Massive, it now also supports dynamic Expandos too
• Like ActiveRecord, it supports a close relationship between object and database table
• Like SubSonic, it supports generation of poco classes with T4 templates (V5 only)
• Like Massive it's available as single file that you easily add to any project or complied. (V5 only)

• Tiny, and absolutely no dependencies!
• Asychronise or synchronise, the choice is yours. (aka async) (V6)
• Works with strictly undecorated POCOs, or attributed almost-POCOs.
• Easy to configure and includes fluent configuration out of the box.
• Helper methods for Insert/Delete/Update/Save and IsNew
• Paged requests automatically work out total record count and fetch a specific page.
• Easy transaction support.
• Better parameter replacement support, including grabbing named parameters from object properties.
• Great performance by eliminating Linq and fast property assignment with DynamicMethod generation.
• The query language is good ole SQL.
• Includes a low friction SQL builder class that makes writing inline SQL much easier.
• Includes T4 templates to automatically generate POCO classes for you. (V5)
• Hooks for logging exceptions, installing value converters and mapping columns to properties without attributes.
• Works with SQL Server, SQL Server CE, MS Access, SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, Firebird, and PostgreSQL. (Oracle supported but does not have integration tests).

    db.Save(new Article { Title = "Super easy to use PetaPoco" });
    db.Save("Articles", "Id", { Title = "Super easy to use PetaPoco", Id = Guid.New() });

Get an entity

    var article = db.Single<Article>(123);
    var article = db.Single<Article>("WHERE ArticleKey = @0", "ART-123");

Delete an entity

    db.Delete(article);
    db.Delete<Article>(123);
    db.Delete("Articles", "Id", 123);

Plus much much more.
