About Hibernate

Hibernate is a framework in Java which comes with an abstraction layer and handles the implementations internally. The implementations include tasks like writing a query for CRUD operations or establishing a connection with the databases, etc. A framework is basically a software that provides abstraction on multiple technologies like JDBC, servlet, etc.

Hibernate develops persistence logic, which stores and processes the data for longer use. It is lightweight and an ORM tool, and most importantly open-source which gives it an edge over other frameworks.
