What you need to know about Hibernate

Hibernate is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for Java. It simplifies the interaction between Java applications and databases by automatically converting Java objects into relational tables and vice-versa. Hibernate eliminates the need to manually write complex SQL queries, allowing developers to work directly with objects. Hibernate supports advanced features such as transaction management, caching, lazy loading, and entity associations (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many). Thanks to its HQL (Hibernate Query Language) query language, developers can query databases in an intuitive and object-oriented way. Primarily used in enterprise applications, Hibernate is compatible with various databases and integrates easily with other Java frameworks, such as Spring. It is an essential tool for developers seeking to reduce persistence code complexity while improving application maintainability and performance.
