Spring Boot: Build Standalone Java Applications with Ease

Spring Boot is an open-source Java framework used for building standalone, production-grade Spring-based applications that are easy to deploy and run. It provides a set of tools and conventions for quickly building and deploying Spring-based applications, reducing the complexity typically associated with setting up and configuring Spring applications. Some of the key features of Spring Boot include auto-configuration, which automatically configures the Spring application based on the dependencies in the classpath, and embedded servers, which allows the application to be run as a standalone executable. Spring Boot also supports a wide range of data sources, including SQL databases, NoSQL databases, and message brokers, and provides an easy-to-use interface for managing application properties and configuration.
