Hibernate ORM is a powerful object/relational mapping solution for Java, and makes it easy to develop persistence logic for applications, libraries, and frameworks.

Hibernate implements JPA, the standard API for object/relational persistence in Java, but also offers an extensive set of features and APIs which go beyond the specification.

See https://hibernate.org/orm/[Hibernate.org] for more information.

== Continuous Integration

See link:MAINTAINERS.md#ci[MAINTAINERS.md] for information about CI.

== Building from sources

The build requires at least JDK 25, and produces Java 17 bytecode.

Hibernate uses https://gradle.org[Gradle] as its build tool. See the Gradle Primer section below if you are new to Gradle.

Contributors should read the link:CONTRIBUTING.md[Contributing Guide].

See the guides for setting up https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/intellij-idea/[IntelliJ] or https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/eclipse-ide/[Eclipse] as your development environment.
