This post list some important benefits of using the hibernate ORM framework.
Here are some of the important benefits of using hibernate framework are:
- Hibernate eliminates all the boiler-plate code that comes with JDBC and takes care of managing resources, so we can focus on business logic.
- Hibernate framework provides support for XML as well as JPA annotations, which makes our code implementation independent.
- Hibernate provides a powerful query language (HQL) that is similar to SQL. However, HQL is fully object-oriented and understands concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and association.
- Hibernate is an open-source project from Red Hat Community and used worldwide. This makes it a better choice than others because the learning curve is small and there are tons of online documentation and help is easily available in forums.
- Hibernate is easy to integrate with other Java EE frameworks, it’s so popular that Spring Framework provides built-in support for integrating hibernate with Spring applications.
- Hibernate supports lazy initialization using proxy objects and perform actual database queries only when it’s required.
- Hibernate cache helps us in getting better performance.
- For database vendor-specific features, hibernate is suitable because we can also execute native SQL queries.
