Spring#
The core goals of Spring are:
Dependency Injection (DI): Promotes loose coupling by managing object creation and wiring.
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP): Helps separate cross-cutting concerns like logging, security, and transactions.
Simplified Configuration: Reduces boilerplate code via annotations and XML configuration. This helps one create microservices.
Integration Support: Easily integrates with other frameworks like JUnit and Mockito, making it easier for developers to write clean, maintainable, and testable code.
Web Development: Spring MVC provides a powerful way to build web applications.
Security: Spring Security offers robust authentication and authorization mechanisms.
While Spring is mostly for Web Development, we will be focusing on functionality beneficial to a client application.
