I've greatly enjoyed using jOOQ [0] for this purpose in the past. Incredible powerful and easy to use. All without the stuff that hibernate pulls in...

JOOQ is nice, but it is more aimed at writing SQL in a portable way than at reading/writing objects.
How does this compare to MyBatis [1]? Based on a very brief read, it looks like ObjectiveSync requires me to write more code, but does some interesting things that MyBatis doesn't, like deferred loading.

You write maybe more code, but you control how you want objects serialized. And when you find yourself fighting against the database layer, you know you are doing something wrong.
What would've been great is having code snippets/examples in the main readme page.

Over all it looks like a useful library but I think a lot of developers would prefer seeing how the API is used.

Examples are here: https://github.com/l3nz/ObjectiveSync/tree/master/tests/ch/l...
That's great. Thanks! Though I would consider putting some of them in the main readme or the wiki.
It looks like I'm not alone in hating Hibernate.
