Karvonite is the new Object Persistence Framework for the Microsoft .NET Framework 2 from AdventurerLand.
Karvonite is well-suited for creating document centric applications (i.e., a word processor, a game-level editor, configuration files), storing game data (see below), and other kind of applications where XML files are not enough and the horsepower of a SQL engine is unnecessary.
The Karvonite CTP (September 2006) will be available soon in the following weeks. Karvonite is simple, powerful and intuitive. The framework also runs in the .NET Compact Framework.
The release of the Microsoft XNA Framework definitely opens the door for .NET to the game development arena and Karvonite is a great complementary tool for such framework. A specific version for the XNA Framework will be available soon too.
Stay tuned!
