Karvonite is a FREE persistence framework for the .NET Framework 2 and it focuses on the manipulation and persistence of .NET objects.

This technology provides a new direction for how small to midsize applications can store and deploy data.

Karvonite persistence framework is well-suited for creating document centric applications (i.e., a word processor, a game-level editor, game editing tools, configuration files), storing game data, and other kind of applications where XML files are not enough and the horsepower of a SQL engine is unnecessary.
