Spring Framework

Spring is the leading open-source application framework for Java. The Spring ecosystem provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications, covering web MVC, data access, security, messaging, cloud-native patterns, and AI integrations. Spring Boot enables rapid application development with embedded servers and auto-configuration. Spring is maintained by VMware and hosted under the Spring Projects GitHub organization.

Spring Framework publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Beans API, Environment API, Health API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Cloud-Native, Enterprise, Framework, and Java.

The Spring Framework catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

Spring Framework’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, documentation, engineering blog, release notes, Stack Overflow tag, and 12 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/spring: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
