What is EclipseLink?

EclipseLink is a Java persistence solution and data conversion service. It provides:

  • A JPA implementation (Java Persistence API) for accessing relational databases.
    • And a POJO API which the JPA implementation is based on.
  • A JAXB implementation (Java Architecture for XML Binding) for converting Java objects to and from XML documents.
    • And a POJO API which the JAXB implementation is based on.
  • An SDO implementation (Service Data Objects).

The original source contribution for EclipseLink came from Oracle Corporation's TopLink product.

See Introduction to EclipseLink in the EclipseLink User's Guide for more information.
