Four times faster development
Increase speed and comfort of your work with a sophisticated ORM editor.
Import, edit, and export definitions with just a few clicks.
Powerful project import
Import your current, older, or unknown project and get a complete overview of all its objects and logic. Or create a new model from scratch.
Repeatable editing and export
Change your model and repeat the export as many times as you need. Ready-to-use definitions generated by one click help you do it simply and quickly.
Export of standardized ORM definitions
The project model is transferred to the definition files through well-designed templates compliant with all framework standards and rules. Supported export formats are XML, YML, and Annotations.
XML
YML (YAML)
Annotations

We have good use of the tool. It simplifies our daily work, saves us time and is simple and intuitive to use.

It is faster and gives less errors to have Skipper create the mapping code instead of writing it myself. Later in the development process I often use the Skipper diagram as a quick reference.
