Spring Batch

A lightweight, comprehensive batch framework designed to enable the development of robust batch applications vital for the daily operations of enterprise systems. Spring Batch provides reusable functions for processing large volumes of records including logging/tracing, transaction management, job processing statistics, job restart, skip, and resource management. It supports reading and writing from flat files, XML, JSON, databases (JDBC, JPA, Hibernate), message queues, and more.

Spring Batch publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Jobs API, Health API, Metrics API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Batch Processing, Data Processing, Enterprise, ETL, and Java.

The Spring Batch catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Spring Batch’s developer surface includes engineering blog, Stack Overflow tag, release notes, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because both conditional facets apply and carry 25 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
