What is Dapper?

Dapper is a simple object mapper for .NET that provides micro-ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) functionality. It is known for its speed and ease of use, allowing developers to execute SQL queries and map the results to .NET objects with minimal overhead. It's commonly used for data access in applications where performance is critical, and full-fledged ORMs like Entity Framework are considered too heavy.
