The Floor Database is inspired by the Room persistence library. It comes with automatic mapping between in-memory objects and database rows while still offering full control of the database with the use of SQL.

It is a layer that sits on top of an SQLite database and makes it easier to use.

The library’s name derives from the following. Floor as the bottom layer of a Room which points to the analogy of the database layer being the bottom and foundation layer of most applications. Where fl also gives a pointer that the library is used in the Flutter context.
