"Creating API with Spring Boot"
What do you like best about spring.io?

I like the feature of using annotations on a class or a method which reduces a lot of boilerplate code. It is easy to setup and get started. It has the ability to create API without writing SQL queries manually by using its Spring Data JPA. It supports a lot of libraries for different purposes for creating API's for a application. It is open source framework so no need to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

There aren't any but since it is open source and the community has to keep update with latest trends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple way to bootstrap your application"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring Boot allows the creation of a basic application with very few dependencies, removing some extra packages from Spring that may not be needed for the specific application.

The implementation is just as simple as adding the starter library to the dependency and marking the main class as a SpringApplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

While the library is smaller than the original Spring one, the startup time may still take a long time, especially if the dependency is not correctly selected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good framework for begginers and professionals to learn"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring boot is a framework which allows a developer to write servers in very less lines. It gives support to various dbs and tools. Many big companies use it for their servers, where heavy work has to be done, as spring boot has fallback support in all of its services which makes it easy to use for heavy jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

Spring boot is really big in size. So if startups want to use it, it will cost them more money. Other libraries like vert.x are used in startups because of that. As it is a framework it takes time for developers to master it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not easy to master but it is good platform for high quality high scale projects"
What do you like best about spring.io?

1. Springboot ensures projects good quality built with it because of the following facts. Spring Boot is a java language framework. Java is widely recognized as one of the oldest and most mature programming languages in the software development industry. Given its extensive history in Java development, mastering the Spring Boot framework requires knowledge of Java design patterns, idioms, annotations, as well as the language syntax and build system. This emphasis on a strong Java background for programmers guarantees that projects built with Spring Boot are of high quality, especially when compared to rapidly evolving, user-friendly emerging programming languages.

2. Spring Boot is open-source software

3. There is good , well-structure documentation with examples that is suitable for self - learning

4. Project best practices are enforced through the use of a project skeleton generator and configurator within Spring Boot.

5. The project skeleton includes unit testing.

6. The project skeleton includes components and a packaging manager.

7. Project deployment is made easy.

8. The deployment package is compact and only requires the Java runtime to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

"Spring Boot is my framework of choice for production code"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring Boot bundles great start-up templates which is really helpful to get deployment level code base up and running within few clicks. Spring Boot integrates well with Java which is my language of choice to develop software. It also has robust documentation and support available in the open source community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

Spring boot might be difficult to learn for some individuals especially for people not familiar with Java. It sometimes can be very rigid in terms of change and has specific annotations and dependency injection mechanisms which can take some expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most time we used spring boot but some of our projects are still on the spring framework.

It is little more time consuming than spring boot as it is the early version of spring boot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid foundation for web applications"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring boot is in essence a nice wrapper that allows you easy access into the Spring ecosystem of services, it provices an easy way (using Spring Initializr) get started with an application that makes implementatino very simple to start with. I have been using Spring boot frequently for projects for at least 10 years and have been happy with the wide range of features (from simple console app to API service with OAuth) and particularly using Spring Security made integration with other systems easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

The documentation is good, but this is mostly from third parties like Baeldung. Customer Support via documentation direct from Spring can be difficult to navigate as it quickly assumes too much knowledge or goes straight into JavaDoc rather than practical examples.

"Standalone Technology"
What do you like best about spring.io?

Spring Boot provides various features which minimizes the configuration management with simple annotations, provides embedded tomcat container and also we can easily integarte with cloud or github or any other applications. Also for a real time project it is easy to integarte with front end or talk to any application with the API calls which is more powerful tool in the spring boot. According to me it is the best frame work for any organization or individual to adapt and work on it. Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

Sometimes people rather confused with the latest versions , newly added packages and also some time difficult to understand all the working mechanism of the annotations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
