Introduction to Springboot
What is Springboot?
Spring Boot is a good forum for Java developers to build a stand-alone, production-ready spring application that can be run straight away. You can get started with only a few settings without having to set up a full Spring configuration.
Objective of SpringBoot
The following are the objectives of Spring Boot:
· In order to stop having to deal with a lot of XML in Spring,
· To make it simpler to create production-ready Spring applications.
· To shorten the development time and allow the app to run on its own
· Make it easier to start using the software.
Spring Boot Features
- Web Development
- Spring Application
- Application events and listeners
- Admin features
- Externalized Configuration
- Properties Files
- YAML Support
- Type-safe Configuration
- Logging
- Security
Why SpringBoot?
Spring Boot is a good option because of the functionality and benefits it provides, which are mentioned below.
· It allows you to customize Java Beans, XML settings, and Database Transactions in a versatile way.
· It handles REST endpoints and offers efficient batch processing.
· All is auto-configured in Spring Boot; no manual configuration is needed.
· It has a spring framework that is annotation-based.
· Management of dependencies is made easier.
· Embedded Servlet Container is included.
Advantages of SpringBoot
· It creates stand-alone Spring applications that can be started using Java -jar.
· It runs web applications easily with the help of different Embedded HTTP servers such as Tomcat, Jetty, etc. We don’t need to deploy WAR files.
· It provides opinionated ‘starter’ POMs to simplify our Maven configuration.
· It provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks, and externalized configuration.
· There is no requirement for XML configuration.
· It offers a CLI tool for developing and testing the Spring Boot application.
· It offers a number of plug-ins.
· It also minimizes writing multiple boilerplate codes (the code that has to be included in many places with little or no alteration), XML configuration, and annotations.
· It increases productivity and reduces development time.
Disadvantages of SpringBoot
· Spring boot can contain dependencies that aren’t used, resulting in a large deployment file.
· Converting legacy spring applications to Spring boot is a time-consuming and labour-intensive process.
· Your application’s control is restricted.
