+# JDXAndroidSimpleExample
+### A Simple Example Project using JDXA ORM
+
+This project shows a simple Android app using JDXA ORM to exchange object data with an on-device SQLite relational database. Some highlights:  
+*	The object model consists of one POJO class (AClass). 
+*	The mapping specification is succinct. 
+*	API calls for CRUD operations are simple. 
+*	JDXA provides handy utility methods for displaying an object or a list of objects.  
+
+#### This project is also presented in a video format on YouTube at https://youtu.be/g9pE6ocTDvU  
+
+To run this app in your own setup, please do the following:
+*	Clone this project on your desktop.
+*	Get the JDXA SDK download instructions from [this link](http://softwaretree.com/v1/products/jdxa/download-jdxa.php).
+*	You may download just the mini version of the SDK.
+*	Add the libraries (JDXAndroid-nn.n.jar and sqldroid.jar) from the SDK to the app/libs directory and build the project.
+*	Run the app.  
+
+### About JDXA ORM 
+JDXA is a simple yet powerful, non-intrusive, flexible, and lightweight Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) product that simplifies and accelerates the development of Android apps by providing intuitive, object-oriented access to on-device relational (e.g., SQLite) data.  
+
+Adhering to some well thought-out [KISS (Keep It Simple and Straightforward) principles](http://softwaretree.com/v1/KISSPrinciples.html), JDXA boosts developer productivity and reduces maintenance hassles by eliminating endless lines of tedious SQL code.  
+
+Some of the powerful and practical features of JDXA include: 
+*	Declarative mapping specification between an object model and a relational model is done textually using a simple grammar (no XML complexity). 
+*	Full flexibility in domain object modeling – one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships as well as class-hierarchies supported.
+*	POJO (Plain Old Java Objects) friendly non-intrusive programming model, which does not require you to change your Java classes in any way:   
+
+    - No need to subclass your domain model classes from any base class
+    - No need to clutter your source code with annotations
+    - No source code generation (No need for DAO classes)
+    - No pre-processing or post-processing of your code  
+
+*	Support for persistence of JSON objects.
+*	A small set of intuitive APIs for object persistence.
+*	Automatic generation of relational schema from an object model. 
+*	A highly optimized metadata-driven ORM engine that is lightweight, dynamic, and flexible.
