Classical database documentation tools analyze the database and create thereof a
documentation of tables, columns, constraints and other database properties or
artefacts. However, this is often not helpful. It lacks meaningful descriptions, the context, business relevance and an overall understanding of
the application.

Japedo goes beyond that – it documents the complete persistence layer of any Java application that uses Java Persistence API.

Including:

- Tables, views, columns, constraints, indexes and their properties and inter-relations
- The corresponding Java entities, types, persistent fields and relevant properties.
- The linkage between tables and entities, between columns and fields and between
   table constraints and entity inter-relations.
- A single-source description of database and JPA artefacts based on JavaDoc.

This 12 min tutorial video shows what Japedo finds out about your application and database, how it is presented and and how to use and navigate in the GUI.
