Today we’re going to learn CRUD example using Spring boot, Kotlin and AngularJS with WebJar. For this tutorial, nothing is assumed except some basic Java experience.

We’ll go through the how and why of it all, step-by-step so you can comfortably explore further on your own.

What is and Why Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is a Spring module which provides RAD (Rapid Application Development) feature to Spring framework. It is used to create stand alone spring based application that you can just run because it needs very little spring configuration.

  • It provides opinionated ‘starter’ POMs to simplify your Maven configuration.
  • It automatically configure Spring whenever possible.
  • It provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration.
  • Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration.
