Plain Old CLR Object

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

POCO is an acronym for Plain Old CLR Object. It is a play on the term POJO, from the Java EE programming world, and is used by developers targeting the Common Language Runtime of the .NET Framework. Similar to the Java context, the term is used to contrast an object with one that is designed to be used with a complicated, special object frameworks such as an ORM component. In .NET terms, the word is most often used in the programmatic sense, to differentiate a non Serviced Component (see MTS) from a "standard object". It can also be used in a tongue in cheek manner, referencing the perceived complexity of Java based programming frameworks such as EJB.
