What are the features of the Hibernate framework?
Characteristics of the Hibernate framework include:
- The database operations have been encapsulated, allowing developers to interact with the database through an object-oriented approach without the need to write SQL statements directly.
- Providing a transaction management mechanism ensures the consistency and integrity of database operations.
- Supports cross-database platform, allowing developers to use the same code on different databases.
- Support ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) technology to map database tables to Java objects, making database operations more convenient and flexible.
- Providing a caching mechanism can reduce the number of database accesses and enhance system performance.
- Support lazy loading, allowing properties of objects to be dynamically loaded at runtime as needed, reducing unnecessary database queries.
- Provides a query language called HQL (Hibernate Query Language) for querying operations in an object-oriented way.
- It provides a mechanism for object state management to automatically detect and manage changes in the state of objects.
- Support the automatic creation and updating of database table structures.
- Providing scalability by extending existing features to meet specific needs.
