Room: An SQLite Object Mapping Library
summary
Room is an Android SQLite ORM (min SDK 14) that generates DAO implementations and removes boilerplate by using annotations like @Entity, @Dao, @Database. It enforces compile-time query verification, supports LiveData/RxJava observable queries, transactions, type converters for unsupported types, and relations via @Embedded with prefixes or @Relation/foreign keys. Migration uses Migration.onMigrate and addMigrations or fallbackToDestructiveMigration, schemas export to JSON, and Room records a Room master identity hash to detect schema changes; Room 1.1 allows concurrent reads and writes.
