What is JPA?

JPA (Java Persistence API) is a Java specification for managing relational data in Java applications. It provides an object-relational mapping (ORM) facility for managing data between Java objects and a relational database. JPA simplifies database interactions by allowing developers to work with objects instead of writing SQL queries, improving productivity and maintainability.
