As a technology Hibernate is a open source, free Java package that makes it easy to work with relational databases. It is a pure Java object-relational mapping (ORM) and persistence framework that allows you to map plain old Java objects to relational database tables using (XML) configuration files or using annotations. Its purpose is to relieve the developer from a significant amount of relational data persistence-related programming tasks.
