What is MyBatis?
It is a first class persistence framework with support for custom SQL, stored procedures and advanced mappings. It eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results. It can use simple XML or Annotations for configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.
MyBatis is a tool in the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) category of a tech stack.
MyBatis is an open source tool with 19.8K GitHub stars and 12.9K GitHub forks. Here’s a link to MyBatis's open source repository on GitHub
