"A Very Good Java Framework"
What do you like best about spring.io?

I mostly like the REST API development using Spring Framework. We can quickly develop a project using Maven dependencies. Connecting and configuring a database in Spring Framework is quite straightforward.

It has a lot of features like Logging, Authentication etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If anyone wants to start a project quickly then use Spring Boot instead of Spring Framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spring Boot: A Powerful Tool for Production-Ready Applications"
What do you like best about spring.io?

I like the following things best about Spring Boot:

Ease of use: Spring Boot makes it easy to get started with Spring development. The auto-configuration features mean that you don't have to write any configuration code yourself, and the starter dependencies make it easy to add common features to your application.

Speed: Spring Boot applications are typically very fast. This is because Spring Boot uses embedded web containers, which are much faster than traditional web servers.

Production-ready: Spring Boot applications are designed to be production-ready. They come with a number of features that make them suitable for use in production, such as health checks and metrics.

In addition to these features, I also appreciate the large community of users and contributors that Spring Boot has. This means that there are a lot of resources available to help you learn about Spring Boot and get started with it.

Overall, I think Spring Boot is a great framework for developing Spring-based applications. It is easy to use, fast, and production-ready. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to develop a Spring-based application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

Here are some of the things I dislike about Spring Boot:

Can be complex: Spring Boot is a complex framework. There are a lot of features to learn, and it can be difficult to understand how everything works together.

Not as flexible as Spring: Spring Boot is a opinionated framework. This means that it makes some decisions for you, and it can be difficult to customize it.

Can be opinionated: Spring Boot makes some decisions for you, which can be both good and bad. On the one hand, it can make development faster and easier. On the other hand, it can be limiting if you want to do things in a different way.

Can be difficult to debug: Spring Boot can be difficult to debug, especially if you are not familiar with the framework. This is because Spring Boot makes a lot of assumptions about your application, and it can be difficult to figure out what is going wrong when things don't work as expected.

Overall, I think Spring Boot is a great framework for developing Spring-based applications. However, it is important to be aware of the limitations of the framework before you start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
