ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

JDBC

Jdbc is like a magic phone that helps your computer talk to a database. When you need some information from the database, your computer uses jdbc to dial the database's phone number, ask for the information, and then the database talks back to your computer and gives it the information it needs. It's like a secret code that helps your computer understand the language of the database so they can talk to each other. With jdbc, your computer can ask the database for all kinds of things, like how many books are in the library or what someone's phone number is.
