Module jakarta.persistence

module jakarta.persistence

The Jakarta Persistence API, the standard for management of persistence and object/relational mapping in Java(R) environments.

• jakarta.persistence defines the core APIs, including EntityManager, EntityAgent, EntityManagerFactory, Persistence, and PersistenceConfiguration. It also provides annotations for declaring entity types, their relationships, and their persistent attributes, and for mapping these program elements to the database.
• jakarta.persistence.criteria defines the criteria query API.
• jakarta.persistence.sql defines an API for mapping SQL result sets to Java objects.
• jakarta.persistence.query defines an API for expressing statically type safe queries by annotating a query method.
• jakarta.persistence.metamodel defines an API representing the managed classes of a persistence unit and allowing programatic reflection on this metamodel.
• jakarta.persistence.spi defines an SPI allowing integration of a persistence provider with the Jakarta environment.

This module provides standard interfaces. An implementation of Jakarta Persistence is called a persistence provider.

Jakarta Persistence fully supports usage within Java SE or Jakarta EE.
