Hibernate is the most popular implementation of JPA. It was the most popular ORM framework option before JPA emerged and it provides additional features on top of JPA. We will use Hibernate as the JPA implementation in this course. The Java Persistence API provides Java developers with an API to map Java objects to relational data. In this course, you will learn about Hibernate, JPA API, JPQL (Java Persistence query language), Java Persistence Criteria API, and how you can perform ORM (Object Relational Mapping) with JPA and Hibernate. In this course, you will learn the basics of JPA and Hibernate such as entities, relationships, inheritance mappings, and annotations.
