"Review About Spring.io"
What do you like best about spring.io?

What I like best about spring.io is its extensive documentation for each feature, making it easy to learn and implement even advanced functionality. Additionally, https://start.spring.io/ is a fantastic tool that helps me configure projects according to my needs and generates boilerplate code, saving a lot of setup time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

While spring.io is comprehensive and powerful, the framework can feel overwhelming to newcomers due to its vast ecosystem and steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spring:Redifing J2EE"
What do you like best about spring.io?

The best part of spring.io is that it has inbuilt framework that just needed to be export into the IDE you are using and even you can change the properties of the framework to your wish.It has made backend development using java so easy that the developer need not waste his time writing framework instead spring.io provides it for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

The main dislike is that even though it provides the framework sometimes framework can be heavy and developers need to write code from scratch which is bit not convincing from spring.io Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unleashing the Power of Simplicity: A Review of Spring Boot"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring Boot's standout feature lies in its remarkable simplicity and convention-over-configuration approach. Rapid development becomes a breeze with its opinionated defaults and seamless integration with the Spring ecosystem. The embedded application server, auto-configuration, and minimal setup requirements significantly speed up the development process. The extensive documentation and active community contribute to an enriching developer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

While Spring Boot excels in many aspects, its opinionated nature might be restrictive for developers seeking more customization. The auto-configuration, while convenient, can occasionally lead to unexpected behaviors, requiring a deeper understanding of the framework internals. Additionally, for extremely lightweight projects, the overhead introduced by Spring Boot might be perceived as excessive. However, these drawbacks are minor compared to the overall efficiency and productivity gains offered by the framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spring Boot: A Game-Changer for Microservices Development"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring Boot's simplicity is its biggest strength. It provides a powerful set of tools and conventions, allowing developers to focus on building business logic without getting bogged down by the complexities of configuration and infrastructure.

Spring Boot has a large community and all help is easily available. Since it is a mature framework documentation plenty of tutorials and good old Stackoverflow are available to help you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

For developers new to Spring, Spring Boot's many features and configurations can be overwhelming. The learning curve can be steep, especially if you're not already familiar with the core Spring framework.

While Spring Boot is widely adopted and supported, choosing it may create a level of vendor lock-in with Pivotal (now VMware) being the primary driving force behind it. Depending on your organization's preferences, this could be a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
