eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO) is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool that handles all aspects of database creation and object persistence, allowing you to concentrate on your application's business logic. XPO supports more than a dozen database management systems and implements a common high-level API.

Should you decide to move your storage to a different database system, you’ll only need to change the connection string. For more information, see https://DevExpress.com/XPO.
