title: Differences between Spring Data and JDBC/ORM modules
body: <p>I'm starting a new Java Web project using Spring and obviously I need data access in my application.</p>
  
  <p>In previous applications I used JDBC or ORM modules of Spring framework to implement my data access layer, but some times ago I read about Spring Data project. I'm curious about it and I'd like to know the diffenrences between the two projects and understand if there are advantages passing from one approach to the other.</p>
