Spring Boot

Spring Boot is an open source Java-based framework used to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications with minimal configuration. It provides auto-configuration, embedded server support, opinionated defaults, and production-ready features including health checks, metrics, and externalized configuration management.

Spring Boot publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Application API, Caches API, Configuration API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Auto-Configuration, Embedded Server, Framework, Java, and Microservices.

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