Spring

About

The Spring Framework is an open-source software framework used for building enterprise-level Java applications. It simplifies complex development processes by providing features like dependency injection (DI) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP). Spring supports a modular design, allowing developers to choose from about 20 modules tailored to specific application needs. Key modules include the Core Container, Data Access/Integration, Web, and AOP. Spring also supports popular data access frameworks such as JDBC and Hibernate, making database interactions more manageable. Spring's core features include the IoC container, which manages object lifecycles using DI. The framework supports various application architectures, including web and messaging. It integrates well with other technologies and has a large community backing, ensuring continuous improvement. Spring supports languages like Kotlin and Groovy, making it versatile for different development needs. Its design philosophy emphasizes flexibility and backward compatibility, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure details.
