Introduction
Spring Framework Overview
Spring Framework is an open-source full-stack application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. Generally, Spring Framework and Spring Project are collectively called Spring. Some core functions of Spring Framework can be used by any Java application in theory, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE (Enterprise Edition) platform. Although the framework does not impose any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an addition to the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) model.
Spring Framework is released under the Apache License 2.0 open source license. It was initially developed by Rod Johnson and Juergen Hoeller.
