The latter is just a more convenient syntax for the former: $.(domElement, 'key') and $('selector').data('key') do the same thing.

From the link you provided - it would appear it is simply just an older way of calling the same functionality in a more 'vanilla javascript' way...but it would appear there is one actual difference listed.

Note: This is a low-level method; a more convenient .data() is also available.

Regarding HTML5 data-* attributes: This low-level method does NOT retrieve the data-* attributes unless the more convenient .data() method has already retrieved them.
