MongoDB Haskell ORM

Question

I've been looking for an ORM that uses Haskell records to store into a MongoDB database.

HaskellWiki has a list of some libraries which are not necessarily ORMs.

Persistent is the one that comes closest to what I need, but it depends heavily on Template Haskell, which I do not want. I just want plain Haskell records to be mapped to the database.

Answer 1

You can use Persistent without Template Haskell, you just need to define your PersistEntity instances manually. Some people are doing this currently for cases where TH isn't available (e.g., ghc-iphone).
