Spring Data

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.

Spring Data publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Association API, Collection API, Discovery API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Data Access, Database, Framework, Java, and JPA.

The Spring Data catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Spring Data’s developer surface includes engineering blog, Stack Overflow tag, release notes, changelog, and 8 more developer resources.
