+### Why DataPowerTools?
+
+DataPowerTools is not dependent on any other frameworks or libraries such as Entity Framework or any other ORM. It has virtually no dependencies except for some core .NET / ADO.NET libraries. Nor does it try to be an ORM. It is simply a set of tools built around the ADO.NET IDataReader interface that allow you to manipulate the reader, apply transformations, and send this data somewhere else. For example, if you want to read a CSV, transform some column names, trim or truncate some columns, and map it to a SQL server destination and bulk insert, this allows you do do so in a very high performant way and with a low memory footprint. Check out the unit tests for examples.
