Dapper Micro ORM: Build .NET 7 Web API CRUD Operations

Learn how to use Dapper, the lightweight micro ORM, to build high-performance Web API CRUD operations in .NET 7. Discover why Dapper outperforms traditional ORMs like Entity Framework Core and how to implement it in your projects. Dapper is an open-source micro ORM created by Marc Gravell and Sam Saffron in 2011 to solve Stack Overflow's performance challenges. It provides exceptional speed, security against SQL injection, and support for multiple database providers including SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite. What you will learn: • Introduction to Dapper and its key features • Why Dapper provides better performance than EF Core • Setting up a .NET 7 Web API project with Dapper • Creating database schemas for CRUD operations • Implementing Create, Read, Update, Delete operations • Using Dapper's Query, Execute, and QueryMultiple methods • Parameter mapping and SQL injection prevention • Error handling and data validation best practices • Performance optimization techniques • When to choose Dapper over Entity Framework Core Dapper's lightweight nature and direct SQL execution make it ideal for applications requiring maximum database performance. By writing SQL queries directly in your code instead of relying on LINQ-to-SQL translation, you eliminate the overhead of ORM abstraction layers. This tutorial covers practical implementation with real-world examples. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to optimize your data access layer or a beginner exploring .NET Web APIs, this comprehensive guide provides hands-on experience with Dapper. You'll understand when and why to use Dapper in your projects, especially when working with existing databases or performance-critical applications. Watch the full tutorial to master Dapper and build robust, high-performance data-driven applications in .NET 7.
