Question

Why is Hibernate better than Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)?

Answer 1

Hibernate outclasses JDBC because:

1. Hibernate code is cleaner and more readable thanks to the elimination of boiler-plate code, something found in JDBC
2. Unlike JDBC API, Hibernate supports associations, collections, and inheritances
3. HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is closer to Java and is more object-oriented
4. Developers don’t need to write code to store and load data into the database
5. Hibernate enables faster application development
