  • It supports MySQL 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0.
  • It supports the JDBC 4.2 specification.
  • It is a MySQL driver for the Java 8 platform.
  • It supports the new X DevAPI, through which native support by MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 for JSON, NoSQL, document collection, and other features are provided to Java applications. See Using MySQL as a Document Store and the X DevAPI User Guide for details.
