In MyBatis, the purpose of the namespace is to map SQL statements to corresponding Java interfaces or mapping files. By using namespaces, SQL statements can be associated with specific interfaces or mapping files, making it easier for MyBatis to dynamically generate and map SQL. The namespace is required in MyBatis to specify a unique identifier for SQL statements. Through namespaces, MyBatis can more easily manage and organize SQL statements, improving code maintainability and readability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
