Abstract

Data persistence is a crucial part of software systems. Most software applications use relational databases as datastores but recently NoSQL data stores like MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra are getting popular too. Java provides JDBC API to talk to the database, but it is a low-level API that requires lots of boilerplate coding. The JavaEE platform provides the Java Persistence API (JPA) specification, which is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework. Hibernate and EclipseLink are the most popular JPA implementations. There are other popular persistence frameworks, such as MyBatis and JOOQ, that are more SQL focused.
