GET vs LOAD in Hibernate

 

Load: Used to retrieve an entity instance from the database based on its identifier, throwing an exception if not found.
Get: Used to retrieve an entity instance from the database based on its identifier, returning null if not found.

Load: It returns a proxy object without hitting the database until a method is called on it.
Get: It returns the actual object from the database immediately.

Load: Throws an ObjectNotFoundException if the object is not found in the database.
Get: Returns null if the object is not found in the database.
