Open Source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)

Hibernate is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) solution for JAVA and it raised as an open source persistent framework. It is a powerful, high performance Object-Relational Persistence and Query service for any Java Application. Hibernate maps Java classes to database tables and from Java data types to SQL data types and relieve the developer from 95% of common data persistence related programming tasks. Hibernate sits between traditional Java objects and database server to handle all the work in persisting those objects based on the appropriate O/R mechanisms and patterns.
