Project skeleton with Spring Boot

Spring Boot automates the process of creating the configuration which speeds up the development process. In short, Spring Boot makes the development life cycle shorter, with minimal or no configuration for building production-ready applications or services. It uses the convention-over-configuration methodology to provide rapid application development.

Spring Boot is not meant to provide any new features; instead, as it is established on top of the Spring Framework, it uses existing Spring Framework features to provide a preconfigured application skeleton out of the box, which is a getting-started mode of development.

Spring Boot has various advantages over conventional ways of creating a Spring-based application, as follows:

• Has automated configuration
• Manages dependency with ease
• Supports an embedded server to make the development process easy and straightforward
• Provides support for building the application with Maven or Gradle out of the box
• Eases integration...
