-[Apache Cayenne](https://cayenne.apache.org) is an open source persistence
framework.
+[Apache Cayenne](https://cayenne.apache.org) is an open source java
persistence framework. With a wealth of unique and powerful features, Cayenne
can address a wide range of persistence needs. Cayenne seamlessly binds one or
more database schemas directly to Java objects, managing atomic commit and
rollbacks, SQL generation, joins, sequences, and more.
+
+Cayenne is designed to be easy to use, without sacrificing flexibility or
design. To that end, Cayenne supports database reverse engineering and
generation, as well as templated class generation. All of these functions can
be controlled directly through the GUI CayenneModeler app. An entire database
schema can be mapped directly to Java objects within minutes, all from the
comfort of the GUI-based CayenneModeler.
+
+Cayenne supports numerous other features, including caching, an object query
syntax, relationship pre-fetching, on-demand object and relationship faulting,
object inheritance, database auto-detection, and generic persistent objects.
Cayenne can scale up or down to virtually any project size. With a mature, 100%
open source framework, an energetic user community, and a track record of solid
performance in high-volume environments, Cayenne is an exceptional choice for
persistence services.
