Difference between Jenkins Job and FreestyleJob

Using Jenkins DSL plugin I've come across Job and freeStyleJob. Is there any difference between the two looking at the sparse documentation they look like they are the exact same thing. Do they both exist for historical reasons or is there actually a difference between the two?

They are exactly the same thing. The method Job() was introduced since version 1.30 of the job-dsl-plugin and acts as an alias for freeStyleJob().

At the moment of this writing you have following methods:

job(String name, Closure closure = null)          // since 1.30, an alias for freeStyleJob

freeStyleJob(String name, Closure closure = null) // since 1.30

buildFlowJob(String name, Closure closure = null) // since 1.30

ivyJob(String name, Closure closure = null)       // since 1.38

matrixJob(String name, Closure closure = null)    // since 1.30

mavenJob(String name, Closure closure = null)     // since 1.30

multiJob(String name, Closure closure = null)     // since 1.30

workflowJob(String name, Closure closure = null)  // since 1.30

multibranchWorkflowJob(String name, Closure closure = null) // since 1.42
