Adoption guide

Teams that want explicit SQL ownership, predictable query plans and thin data access layers.

Dapper guide
Why it appears in the guide: Core micro-ORM focused on fast materialization and minimal abstraction over SQL. Trade-off: You must own SQL composition, migration strategy and relational modeling discipline yourself.

Compatibility metadata lists 4 target frameworks; confirm the exact target used by your application.

How to read this guidance

Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.

Useful next steps

Move from package metadata to a concrete selection or review workflow.
