play-services-plugins VS Hibernate

Android is basically open source at the bare minimum. To use Android in a meaningful way, you need Google Play Services, which are proprietary and have root privileges on most Android phones (allowing Google to collect a lot of private data easily). The only ROMs I know of which utilise Sandboxed Google Play Services are GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP. microG exists on CalyxOS and /e/ OS, but it will never be as compatible as Google Play Services.

One problem with relying on emulation is that Google has moved a lot of functionality from the open source Android layer to Google Play Services, and they obviously wont publish that on someone else's platform.

The main privacy concern with most Android devices is that they usually include Google Play Services.

Yeah, frustrating I know. I actually made a PR 5 months ago (based on another) to introduce the ability to add libraries if they don’t have it included in their POM. Our use case was that we used a web view with local JS files that we needed to attribute to.

And Hibernate ORM is LGPL: see the license on their Github project.

13. Hibernate

Hibernate is the umbrella for a collection of libraries, most notably Hibernate ORM which provides Object/Relational Mapping for java domain objects. In addition to its own "native" API, Hibernate ORM is also an implementation of the Java Persistence API (jpa) specification.

I'm using Spring Data JPA as a persistence framework. Therefore, those classes are Hibernate entities.

Hibernate -- https://hibernate.org (huge learning curve)

This video is a crash course into the Hibernate & JPA universe.

To prevent SQL Injection attacks to sanitize input data. You can either validate every single input or validate using parameter binding. Parameter binding is mostly used by developers as it offers efficiency and security. If you are using a popular ORM such as sequelize, hibernate, etc then they already provide the functions to validate and sanitize your data. If you are using database modules other than ORM such as mysql for Node or Mongoose, you can use the escaping methods provided by the module. Let's learn by example. The codebase shown below is using mysql module for Node.
