Spring Boot (Java Web Framework)

Spring is a Java application framework and Spring Boot is from the same ecosystem, but is focused on web applications.

Getting Started

Initializer

A good place to start a Spring project is the Spring Initializer. There you'll be able through a web app to select the dependencies you want to use and provide basic configurations. Then it will give you a zip archive to download with the project structure and initial boilerplate code.

In it you can change:

• Project type:
  • Maven
  • Gradle (Kotlin)
  • Gradle (Groovy)
• Language:
  • Java
  • Kotlin
  • Groovy
• Spring Boot version
• Project Metadata
  • Group
  • Artifact (name)
  • Project name
  • Description
  • Package name
• Packaging
  • Jar
  • War
• Java version
• Extra dependencies
