twenty Object@R_ 850_ 2419@

I assume that most people know green robot. If not, they developed greendao and eventbus. Now, it's time for a new database that focuses on performance objects. As greenrobot says, "performance is what we create Object@R_850_2419 @Before, we created greendao, which is the fastest object / relationship mapper (ORM) in Android and SQLite Since the first release in 2011, we have gained a lot of insight into object persistence and the performance limitations imposed by SQLite. We realize that in order to significantly improve mobile performance, we need to go to the core and build a database designed for objects“
