Ballerina Persist Tools

The Ballerina persist Tool which supports several operations on the Ballerina Persistence Layer. Ballerina Persistent Layer provides functionality to store and query data conveniently.

The persist commands will make it easy to enable Ballerina Persistence Layer in a bal project. With this support, users need not worry about the persistence layer in a project. Users can define an entity data model, validate the model and generate persist clients, which provide convenient APIs to store and query data in a data store.

For more information, see persist API Documentation.
