Spring Data vs Spring Data JPA vs JdbcTemplate

I was confident that Spring Data and Spring Data JPA refers as same, but then I watched a tutorial on youtube about Spring Data and he is using JdbcTemplate in that tutorial. So I got confused there.

I want to clarify that what is difference between Spring Data and JdbcTemplate? JdbcTemplate and Spring Data JPA are parts of Spring Data?

Solution

  • JdbcTemplate is part of the Spring Framework itself.

    Spring Data is the project which consists of multiple sub-projects where Spring Data JPA is one of those sub-projects. Spring Data and the sub projects build on top of the Spring Framework.
