iBatis VS MyBatis - bhudevi0924/Spring-boot GitHub Wiki

  • iBatis was developed by the Apache Foundation, and MyBatis is a branch of iBatis maintained by the original Google team of iBatis.
  • iBatis uses complex XML configuration, while MyBatis simplifies the configuration of XML and annotations, making SQL statement writing and debugging more convenient.
  • MyBatis has higher flexibility compared to iBatis. MyBatis allows you to directly write native SQL statements, while iBatis requires encapsulating SQL statements in XML.
  • MyBatis provides a plugin mechanism, allowing developers to extend the functionality of MyBatis through plugins, while iBatis does not have such a mechanism.
  • MyBatis supports more powerful dynamic SQL statements, which can generate SQL statements at runtime, while iBatis has weaker dynamic SQL capabilities.
  • As MyBatis is a successor product to iBatis, MyBatis has a higher community activity and update speed than iBatis.
