PESTO: An Integrated Query/Browser for Object Databases
Summary: PESTO unifies object-database browsing and querying through “query-in-place,” letting users formulate complex queries while navigating object relationships. Its portable, extensible architecture supports high-level query languages and specialized predicates or visualizers for new types. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
