What is CherrySeed?

CherrySeed is a simple little .NET library built to solve a common problem - creating and seeding test data into the database. This type of code is boring to write and bringing relations under control is hard, so why not use a library for that?

Why use CherrySeed?

• Bring relations between entities under control with an easy-to-use API
• High separation of concerns
  • Data providers (defining test data via csv, json, xml, etc.)
  • Repository (storing test data via O/R mapping framework of your choice)
• Some ready-to-use data providers and repositories
• High extensibility
  • Custom data providers
  • Custom repositories
  • Custom type transformations
  • Extension points
• Many data types are supported out of the box (integer, string, enum, nullable types, etc.)
