Java Persistent API

The Java Persistence API, sometimes referred to as JPA, is a Java programming language framework that allows developers to manage relational data in Java Platform, Standard Edition and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition applications.

The Java Persistence API originated as part of the work of the JSR 220 Expert Group.

Many enterprise Java developers have been using lightweight persistent objects provided by open-source frameworks or data access objects instead of entity beans because entity beans and enterprise beans were considered too heavyweight and complicated, and they could only be used in Java EE application servers. Many of the features of the third-party persistence frameworks were incorporated into the Java Persistence API, and projects like Hibernate and TopLink are now implementations of the Java Persistence API.
