MyBatis vs ProGuard: What are the differences?

Developers describe MyBatis as "SQL Mapper Framework for Java". 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. On the other hand, ProGuard is detailed as "Open source optimizer for Java bytecode". It makes your Java and Android applications up to 90% smaller and up to 20% faster. It also provides minimal protection against reverse engineering by obfuscating the names of classes, fields and methods.

MyBatis belongs to "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" category of the tech stack, while ProGuard can be primarily classified under "Java Tools".

MyBatis is an open source tool with 12.3K GitHub stars and 7.94K GitHub forks. Here's a link to MyBatis's open source repository on GitHub.
