Introduction

The MuchAdo class library provides an intuitive API for working with relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. It is similar to Dapper and other micro ORMs for .NET.

var shortWidgets = await connector
    .CommandFormat(
        $"select id, name from widgets where height <= {maxHeight}")
    .QueryAsync<(long Id, string Name)>(cancellationToken);

To use MuchAdo, add a reference to the NuGet package that corresponds to your database. Strongly consider adding a reference to MuchAdo.Analyzers as well.
