I am a beginner in stm32 and I don't understand that how to download the code to the microcontroller.

I am also confused about JLink, SWD and st-link. What's the differences between them?

Where can I find these information on the datasheet? 

Thank you!

the nucleo and discovery boards are mbed-enabled. just drag the compiled .bin file to it and the st-link built in to the boards does the work.

SWD and JTAG are connectivity methods into the debug support contained within the chip.

The ST-LINK, J-LINK, U-LINK, etc are debugger pods that connect via the SWD/JTAG connection described above.

You'd want to review the Technical Reference Manuals, and associated data, related to the core provided by ARM, rather than the Data Sheets from ST
