record-builder VS Hibernate

The problem with this approach is that the people will have to build crutches like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder and by the time Java adds missing features all the codebases will be forever polluted with legacy workarounds that nobody will dare to remove because of backwards compatibility.

It also hinders adoption of new features as people will prefer to maintain consistency in their codebases.

Record builder is pretty good for making builders for your Java 17 records

I always have to bring up RecordBuilder simply because of the included Withers and it being a source generator instead of the Lombok weirdness.

The above is not particularly user-friendly. Luckily compiler plugins can provide the missing feature, most notably RecordBuilder:

For records, instead of lombok you can use https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder which is a valid annotation processor and will not break on JDK changes

In this particular case you can generate the builder with something like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder that is both valid java and lombok-like enough

Records + Record Builder or immutables + the trick to hide the implementing class w/sealed are your friend. Both the mutability and naming conventions this generates are vomitus.

Did you use https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder ?

Try my annotation processor. It generates withers. https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder

I personally don't use that one much, but you could use this library instead.

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.
