Welcome to the InstantObjects Developers and Users Community Site

Project Overview

InstantObjects is an integrated framework for developing object-oriented business solutions in Delphi™. The framework provides the foundation for the development process as well as the engine that powers the final application.

InstantObjects offers:

• Model realization in the Delphi IDE via integrated two-way tools.
• Object persistence in the most common relational databases or flat XML-based files.
• Object presentation via standard data-aware controls.
