"Really good framework to build scalable Java application"

It helps to makes configurations easily with the help of annotations like @Entity, @Service, @Controller. This way we can also keep the business logics separate from the routing logic.

Lombok helps with modelling the database and Orm like hibernate helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The IDE UI could really improve compared to rivals such as IntelliJ. Setting up the whole framework and paths can cause problems at times. Sometimes the build takes more time than needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A key fundamental tool for all Java developer"
What do you like best about spring.io?

As a Java developer, I use the Spring framework on day to day basis. I like the integration with other modules such as third-party libraries and new updates make it compatible to add features coming to Java new versions. Overall it is really helpful compared to Spring MVC or Sturts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about spring.io?

Everything is good about Spring Framework nothing wrong or negative in particular but what could have been better is finding jar compatibility. After many years of working, I know where to look so it might be challenging for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
