Welcome to Exposed, an ORM framework for Kotlin.

Exposed is a lightweight SQL library on top of JDBC driver for Kotlin language. Exposed has two flavors of database access: typesafe SQL wrapping DSL and lightweight Data Access Objects (DAO).

With Exposed, you have two ways for database access: wrapping DSL and a lightweight DAO. Our official mascot is the cuttlefish, which is well-known for its outstanding mimicry ability that enables it to blend seamlessly into any environment. Similar to our mascot, Exposed can be used to mimic a variety of database engines and help you build applications without dependencies on any specific database engine and switch between them with very little or no changes.

Supported Databases

H2 (versions 2.x; 1.x version is deprecated and will be removed in future releases)
Oracle
(Also, PostgreSQL using the pgjdbc-ng JDBC driver)
SQL Server

Dependencies

Maven Central configuration

Releases of Exposed are available in the Maven Central repository. You can declare this repository in your build script as follows:

Maven

<!-- Versions after 0.30.1 -->
<!-- Versions before 0.30.1 is unavailable for now-->
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>mavenCentral</id>
        <name>mavenCentral</name>
        <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Gradle Groovy and Kotlin DSL

Warning: You might need to set your Kotlin JVM target to 8, and when using Spring to 17, in order for this to work properly:

repositories {
    // Versions after 0.30.1
    // Versions before 0.30.1 is unavailable for now
    mavenCentral()
}

Exposed modules

Exposed consists of the following modules:

exposed-core - base module, which contains both DSL api along with mapping
exposed-crypt - provides additional column types to store encrypted data in DB and encode/decode it on client-side
exposed-dao - DAO api
exposed-java-time - date-time extensions based on Java8 Time API
exposed-jdbc - transport level implementation based on Java JDBC API
exposed-jodatime - date-time extensions based on JodaTime library
exposed-json - JSON and JSONB data type extensions
exposed-kotlin-datetime - date-time extensions based on kotlinx-datetime
exposed-money - extensions to support MonetaryAmount from "javax.money:money-api"
exposed-spring-boot-starter - a starter for Spring Boot to utilize Exposed as the ORM instead of Hibernate
