NHibernate Object Relational Mapper
NHibernate is a mature, open source object-relational mapper for the .NET framework. It is actively developed,
fully featured and used in thousands of successful projects.
The NHibernate community website - https://nhibernate.info - has a range of resources to help you get started,
including howtos, blogs and reference documentation.
The quickest way to get the latest release of NHibernate is to add it to your project using
NuGet (https://nuget.org/List/Packages/NHibernate).
Alternatively binaries are available from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhibernate.
You are encouraged to review the release notes (releasenotes.txt), particularly when upgrading to a
later version. The release notes will generally document any breaking changes.
The quickest way to get the latest development build of NHibernate is to add it to your project using
NuGet from Cloudsmith feed (https://cloudsmith.io/~nhibernate/repos/nhibernate-core/packages/).
In order to make life a little bit easier you can register the package source in the NuGet.Config
file in the top folder of your project, similar to the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<add key="NHibernateDevBuilds" value="https://nuget.cloudsmith.io/nhibernate/nhibernate-core/v3/index.json" />
</packageSources>
</configuration>
Package repository hosting is graciously provided by Cloudsmith.
Cloudsmith is the only fully hosted, cloud-native, universal package management solution, that
enables your organization to create, store and share packages in any format, to any place, with total
confidence.
There are two official NHibernate community forums:
If you find any bugs, please report them using the GitHub issue tracker. A
test-case that demonstrates the issue is usually required. Instructions on providing a test-case
can be found in contributing guidelines or here.
Many thanks to the following individuals, organisations and projects whose work is so important to the success
of NHibernate (in no particular order):
