JPA is just specifications and Hibernate is an implementation, you can find further details here in this question What's the difference between JPA and Hibernate? .

If you use JPA with hibernate then you can swap out hibernate with any other alternate ORM. without modifying much code.

Its like List interface, now you use any implementation of list according to your need example LinkedList, ArrayList etc

  • Hi Ali, temporary comment to explain about [your suggested edit](https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/15998602) that all occurrences of "thanks" on Stack Overflow should be removed, not added. – Cœur May 01 '17 at 17:39
  • @Cœur, Yes actually I did not add it, it was there already but you are seeing it as added because someone has removed before my edit and I did not remove it. – smali May 02 '17 at 05:33
