JPA Criteria API

The JPA Criteria API is a tool in Java that allows developers to build database queries in a type-safe and programmatic way, rather than writing raw SQL. It enables constructing complex queries using Java objects and methods, making the code more readable, maintainable, and less prone to errors. This approach ensures that queries are checked during compile time, improving reliability. Overall, it provides a structured, flexible way to interact with databases, especially useful for dynamic and complex data retrieval tasks in Java applications.
