"We anticipated the growing use of object-oriented methodologies for application development, continued reliance on relational databases for data storage, and the impedance mismatch problem of accessing relational data from object-oriented applications," said Damodar Periwal, the inventor of the technology and founder of Software Tree. "Our innovative technology bridges the gap between object-oriented applications and relational databases in an intuitive, non-intrusive and extensible way. Instead of writing and wrestling with hundreds of lines of complex code for achieving the object-relational mapping functionality, application developers can enjoy the productivity gains by writing just a few lines of simple code using our technology."

"Defining object-relational mapping with a declarative specification based on a simple grammar is a great idea. This innovation along with intuitive and powerful APIs makes JDX very easy to use for our web-based provisioning system," commented Gary Zu, a lead Java developer at Concert, a global venture of AT&T and British Telecom. "JDX has a very short learning curve; developers are taking advantage of object modeling; it's easy to manage changes in both object level and database level; productivity is good," Gary continued.
