Object Store cuts app size

by Simson L. Garfinkel

To use Object Store, developers give the database a description of the objects and memory structures used by their applications, then declare the object representing a document to be persistent. Object Store does the rest, automatically saving the document, giving it a name, and loading the document back into memory at some future point in time.

Storing a document in an object-oriented database also gives the user much finer control. The database provides version management and branch tracking for every object inside the database, making it possible to open a blueprint and see the way the design has changed.
