Jakarta Persistence (formerly Java Persistence API / JPA) defines a Java specification and binding layer for the management of persistence and object-relational mapping in Java environments. It provides a standardized ORM framework that enables developers to map Java objects to database tables and interact with relational data using Java rather than SQL. Jakarta Persistence 3.2 is the current stable release with Jakarta EE 11, while version 4.0 is under development for Jakarta EE 12.
