Spring Boot Day 6

Today I learned about the JPA with Spring boot

So let me explain it for you to understand what is spring data jpa.

JPA stands for Java Persistence API. It is a Java specification for object-relational mapping (ORM) that allows developers to interact with relational databases using object-oriented paradigms. JPA provides a set of interfaces and annotations that define a standard way of mapping Java objects to database tables and performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

In the context of Spring Boot, JPA is commonly used as the ORM framework for database access. Spring Boot provides integration with JPA through the Spring Data JPA module, which simplifies the implementation of database operations by providing a high-level, repository-based abstraction.

By using JPA in Spring Boot, you can define entity classes that represent database tables, annotate them with JPA annotations to define the mappings, and then create repositories that provide a set of methods for interacting with the database. Spring Boot takes care of the underlying configuration and provides convenient features like automatic transaction management, query generation, and more.

JPA, along with Spring Data JPA, offers a powerful and convenient way to handle database operations in Spring Boot applications, reducing boilerplate code and promoting good design practices.
