      <subsection name="What is MyBatis?">
        <p>
          MyBatis is a first class persistence framework with support for
          custom SQL,
          stored procedures and advanced mappings. MyBatis
          eliminates almost
          all of the JDBC code and manual setting of
          parameters and retrieval
          of results. MyBatis can use simple XML or
          Annotations for
          configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and
          Java POJOs
          (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.
