Can nhibernate be used without performing XML mapping?

Question

I have many classes and it is a lot of work to do XML mappings.

Answer 1

Yes, nHibernate can be used without XBM files.

There is a free interface for configuration and mapping , which should provide you with a more secure map type for mapping your classes.

You can use the auto mapping function and return to smooth mapping as needed.

Answer 2

Castle ActiveRecord. hbm.

Answer 3

All the technologies mentioned create XML under the cover. The only structure that maps objects directly without XML is ConfORM . But you can only use it with NHibernate 3.
