NHibernate was first created by various individual developers and eventually became a fully open-source project in November 2007. This software framework allows for users (developers) to work between the object-oriented domain models and relational database environment for Microsft .NET. Every now and then, a patch has been released to accommodate newer versions of Microsoft .NET environment. The latest update occurred in January 2020, while the most recent official patch (version 5.2) happened in December 2018. NHibernate was written in C#, and it is available under freeware licensing (or GNU Lesser General Public License). If individual developers wish to contribute, they may refer to the NHibernate GitHub repository and make contributions accordingly.

NHibernate is compatible with Visual Studio products such as C# and object-oriented VB.NET. Furthermore, the NHibernate framework allows for generating databases from mapping the object-oriented domain models. This feature specifically reduces the burden on developers that often work across different platforms. Besides, other secondary features, such as plugins and tools, would even further help the developers with data management. Such "addon" functions include Validators, ProxyGenerators, Burrow, and others. Detailed documentation on each of the primary and addon features can be found on the NHibernate website.

The support community for NHibernate is broad, and its contributor base is growing larger. As the demand for object-oriented domain models is growing, reliable frameworks that can handle various domain models and relational databases may reduce the huge burden on developers. Especially, server-side programming and data management (for instance, Structured Query Language), developers may convert object-oriented domain models into the relational format with ease thanks to NHibernate. If you are a developer struggling with cross-platform data management, NHibernate may be the framework for you.

NHibernate is a tool that can map relations within the .NET framework. I love that it works seamlessly with Visual Studio without the need for extra attributes. I also like that it can create database tables quickly and is compatible with a number of legacy scenarios, no matter how complex. The tool also offers a lot of extra tools and plugins, including ReSharper.

NHibernate is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) library for the Microsoft .NET platform. It is designed to provide a structured query and domain logic environment to help developers work with data stored in a variety of databases. NHibernate enables developers to create applications that are independent of the underlying database system, allowing the same code to be used on different databases.

NHibernate is a great software for object-relational mapping in .Net applications. It provides a great deal of flexibility and scalability for database access. The documentation is very thorough and provides a lot of useful examples. I was able to quickly learn the basics of NHibernate and get my project up and running. The API is well designed and allows me to make complex queries with ease. I like that I can easily configure NHibernate to use different databases. The support community is great and the response to my queries was very helpful. The performance of NHibernate is fast and reliable.

NHibernate is an powerfull tool to help you easily mamange data in your .NET applications, but it can be tricky to get up-and-running at firtst.

NHibernate is an extremely useful tool for database mapping, it makes it easy to write database independent code and has saved me countless hours of development time!

NHibernate is an object-relational mapping framework for the .NET platform. It allows developers to map object-oriented domain models to relational databases, handling the persistence and retrieval of data. Some of its main features include support for multiple database systems, lazy loading of data, caching, and transaction management. NHibernate also provides a query language called HQL, which is similar to SQL but uses object-oriented concepts. Additionally, it supports annotations and XML configuration for mapping models to database tables.
