<h1>Cross-Platform Applications</h1><p>db4o is a native java and .NET database.&nbsp; It reads Java and .NET objects and stores
them in a platform independent format. In the runtime the database data is
reconstructed into class objects using reflection. However, as the database
storage is actually platform-independent, it does not matter if the data will
be reconstructed into a java or .NET class object as soon as the class
definition matches. Thus the same db4o database can be used both with Java and
.NET application.
