The Java Persistence API (JPA) is a specification for object-relational mapping (ORM) in Java, allowing developers to manage relational database data using Java objects rather than writing raw SQL. It's implemented by frameworks like Hibernate and EclipseLink, and is widely used by backend developers building enterprise applications that need to interact with databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. JPA simplifies data persistence through annotations and a query language called JPQL.
