DataMapper ORM

This is the latest incarnation of the Datamapper library. After Phil had indicated he no longer had the time available to support his OverZealous Edition, Datamapper ORM is now being developed and maintained by WanWizard.

DataMapper, OverZealous Edition

This came from a desire to continue to enhance and develop DataMapper, and has been developed and maintained by Phil DeJarnett. DMZ is a near drop-in replacement if you are already using DataMapper 1.6.0 (and possibly older versions).

The Original DataMapper
