In this course, I will cover the following 20+ spring and spring boot annotations with line-by-line coding in STS IDE. We used the latest version of Spring Boot 3 and Java 17.

These 20+ annotations are frequently asked in interviews for Beginners & Experienced., so I highly recommend going through these annotations before an interview.

Spring and Spring Boot Annotations:

Component Annotation

Autowired Annotation

Qualifier Annotation

Primary Annotation

SpringBootApplication

Bean and Configuration Annotations

Controller, Service, and Repository

Value Annotation

Controller and ResponseBody Annotations

RestController Annotation

RequestMapping Annotation

GetMapping Annotation

PostMapping and RequestBody Annotations

PutMapping Annotation

DeleteMapping Annotation

PathVariable Annotation

RequestParam Annotation

What is Spring Framework?

Spring Framework is a popular open-source Java-based application framework that provides a comprehensive infrastructure for developing Java applications. It was initially created to simplify the development of enterprise applications, but it has since expanded to become a general-purpose framework for developing any kind of Java application.

What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is basically an extension of the Spring framework which eliminates the boilerplate configurations required for setting up a Spring application.

Spring Boot is an opinionated framework that helps developers build Spring-based applications quickly and easily. The main goal of Spring Boot is to quickly create Spring-based applications without requiring developers to write the same boilerplate configuration again and again.

Tools and technologies used:

- Spring Boot 3

- Java 17 or later

- STS IDE

- Maven

- Postman Client
