Dapper: Why Entityframwork.net has used Dapper?

[RezaAb]

I just found this error on https://entityframework.net/ and I understood that it uses Dapper.
Why it doesn't use its own? :)

So you opened an issue that is not an issue to talk about something completely out of the scope of the repository?

Yes, you right but it's so weird.

Very interesting report, but I suspect that only the EF website folks could answer this.

As a purely speculative answer: "because it was a perfectly applicable tool for whatever job the website needed to do at that point".

You're allowed to use multiple tools, and I could quite happily believe that they're using EF in some places, Dapper in others, depending on what makes most sense on a particular route.

oh, actually I take that back; that site isn't by the EF team at all; it is by ... well, let's just say that "making things look like they might be official / sanctioned / etc" isn't new to them. Again: that site is nothing whatsoever to do with the EF team.

Thats why I found it strange to be discussed here. Maybe I reacted too hard tho.

Theres even a Dapper Plus download provided by this ZZZ Projects... company?

It's strange.

At the risk of further contributing to off-topic discussion; I've run across several of their products. They aren't bad and often provide some extra functionality over the product who's name they've coopted, but the way they operate is fairly shady. As evidenced by their domain and product naming scheme.
