XEP API for high-speed object access

The XEP (Express Event Persistence) API provided by InterSystems enables .NET applications to store and retrieve objects from InterSystems IRIS®. More specifically, XEP projects .NET objects as persistent events, which are persistent database objects that store the state of .NET objects.

XEP is optimized for applications that must handle high throughput, such as transaction processing applications. If you use XEP for object persistence, you can avoid the overheard of object-relational mapping.

Entity Framework for object-relational mapping

Entity Framework is a mapping tool that enables you to map .NET objects to relational tables in InterSystems IRIS® and eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers must typically write.
