Meet Trysil: a lightweight ORM for Delphi

If you have ever written a Delphi application that talks to a database, you know the routine: write SQL by hand, manage parameters, loop through datasets, and copy values into objects field by field. It works, but it is tedious and error-prone. Trysil is an open-source ORM for Delphi that eliminates that boilerplate. You decorate your classes with attributes, and the framework handles the rest — mapping, querying, inserting, updating, deleting. It is lightweight, attribute-driven, and built on top of FireDAC, so it works with SQLite, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Firebird out of the box.
