Breeze Client and Server

Breeze Client (breeze-client) is a JavaScript library for managing data on the client, much as an ORM manages it on the server.

Breeze Server is a library that works with an ORM (Entity Framework, Sequelize, Hibernate) to manage persistence for Breeze client applications. It turns Breeze queries into ORM queries, and saves changes to the database via the ORM.

The power of Breeze comes from shared metadata, so that client and server have a shared understanding of the entity model.

Get Started

See the client and server directories for the complete sample projects. Any of the clients can work with any of the servers.

See the STEPS document for the steps to create the sample from scratch.
