What is JPA2?

JPA 2 (Java Persistence API 2) is a Java specification that provides an object-relational mapping (ORM) approach for managing relational data in Java applications. It defines a standard way to map Java objects to database tables, allowing developers to interact with databases using object-oriented concepts rather than writing SQL queries directly. It's commonly used to simplify data access and persistence in enterprise Java applications, improving code maintainability and reducing database-specific dependencies. JPA 2 builds on the earlier JPA versions adding features like Criteria API, support for collections of embedded objects, and improved caching.
