Hibernate is an open-source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) solution. It provides a framework for mapping relational databases on an object-oriented representation of data. This reduces developer's efforts in retrieving data from the database. Furthermore, to improve application performance and reduce database load, Hibernate provides caching features.
