Spring Boot in a Nutshell

If you’ve ever tried baking a cake from scratch, you know it involves measuring flour, cracking eggs, and mixing ingredients—all before you even turn on the oven. Traditional Java development can feel similarly tedious. Enter Spring Boot, the pre-mixed batter of the coding world. Let’s break down what it is and why developers love it.

📄️ What Is Spring?

📄️ Dependency Injection

Think of Spring Boot Dependency Injection as a marionette master that knows exactly which strings to pull to make your objects dance together.

📄️ Annotations

Annotations are Spring’s way of letting you tag your code with instructions like "Hey Spring, manage this class!" or "Inject that dependency here!" They replaced XML’s wall-of-text configuration with code-friendly metadata.

📄️ Project Structure

Choosing a project structure is like picking a house blueprint—it dictates where your code "lives" and how it socializes with neighbors.
