Couchbase and Java
The Couchbase Java SDK is the default choice for languages running on the JVM. The SDK 3.x version is a complete rewrite of the 2.x API, providing a simpler surface area and adding support for future Couchbase Server features like Collections and Scopes.
The (reactive) API also migrated from RxJava to Reactor, along with other improvements to performance, logging, debugging and timeout troubleshooting. If you’re upgrading your application from Java SDK 2.x, please read our Migrating 2.x code to SDK 3.x Guide.
Spring Data for Couchbase is part of the umbrella Spring Data projectwhich aims to provide a familiar and consistent Spring-based programming model for new datastores while retaining store-specific features and capabilities.
The Spring Data Couchbase project provides integration with the Couchbase Server database. Key functional areas of Spring Data Couchbase are a POJO centric model for interacting with Couchbase Buckets and easily writing a Repository style data access layer.
