If you only look at easy-query as "another Java ORM", you will almost certainly underestimate it. Java ORM has never really been one thing. Some teams live in Spring Data JPA , some add Querydsl when queries get harder, and some move toward jOOQ when SQL itself becomes the design center.

All examples below assume the common Spring Boot setup with easy-query-spring-boot-starter and an injected easyEntityQuery . 1. The real advantage is not "type safety" A l
