Spring Data’s mission is to provide a familiar and consistent, Spring-based programming model for data access while still retaining the special traits of the underlying data store.

It makes it easy to use data access technologies, relational and non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud-based data services. This is an umbrella project which contains many subprojects that are specific to a given database. The projects are developed by working together with many of the companies and developers that are behind these exciting technologies.

Features

• Powerful repository and custom object-mapping abstractions

Release train

Spring Data is an umbrella project consisting of independent projects with, in principle, different release cadences. To manage the portfolio, a BOM (Bill of Materials - see this example) is published with a curated set of dependencies on the individual project. The release trains follow Calver versioning.

Currently, the release train contains the following modules:

• Spring Data Commons
• Spring Data JPA
• Spring Data JDBC/R2DBC
• Spring Data KeyValue
• Spring Data LDAP
• Spring Data MongoDB
• Spring Data Redis
• Spring Data REST
• Spring Data for Apache Cassandra
• Spring Data Couchbase (community module)
• Spring Data Elasticsearch (community module)
• Spring Data Neo4j (community module)
