Jakarta Persistence

Jakarta Persistence, formerly known as Java Persistence API (JPA), is a framework that helps developers manage how data is stored and retrieved in application databases. It simplifies the process of connecting Java applications to various databases by providing a set of rules and tools that handle database operations. This allows developers to focus on applying business logic rather than dealing with complex database queries. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between the application's object-oriented data and the relational structure of databases, making it easier to maintain and manipulate application data efficiently.
