👉 The Project Eclipse, commonly known as the JPA (Java Persistence API) project, is a widely adopted framework for object-relational mapping (ORM) in Java applications. It provides a standard way to interact with databases using Java objects, abstracting the complexities of SQL queries and database interactions. By defining mappings between Java entities and database tables, JPA enables developers to write more concise and maintainable code. It supports various databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite, and offers features like caching, transaction management, and lazy loading to optimize performance and resource usage.
