The Spring Framework is a comprehensive framework for building Java-based enterprise applications. It is organized into various modules, each of which focuses on specific aspects of application development. These modules can be used individually or combined to meet the needs of your project. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here are some of the core Spring project modules:
1.Spring Core Container:
- Spring Core: Provides the foundational components of the Spring Framework, including the IoC (Inversion of Control) container.
- Spring Beans: Deals with the configuration and management of Spring beans.
- Spring JDBC (Java Database Connectivity): Simplifies database access and error handling.
- Spring ORM (Object-Relational Mapping): Provides integration with popular ORM frameworks like Hibernate, JPA, and JDO.
- Spring JMS (Java Messaging Service): Offers support for working with messaging systems.
- Spring Transactions: Provides a consistent programming model for transaction management.
- Spring Web MVC: Implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern for building web applications.
- Spring Web Websocket: Supports WebSocket-based communication in Spring applications.
- Spring Web Websocket Messaging: Provides support for messaging over WebSocket
- Spring Web REST:: Provides tools for building RESTful web services using Spring MVC.
- Spring Data REST: Simplifies building hypermedia-driven RESTful web services.
- Spring Integration: Facilitates the integration of different systems through messaging, data transformation, and routing.
- Spring Cloud Netflix: Integrates with the Netflix OSS stack to build distributed and microservices-based applications.
- Spring Cloud Config: Provides centralized configuration management.
- Spring Cloud Eureka: Offers service discovery and registration.
- Spring Cloud Ribbon: Provides client-side load balancing.
- Spring Cloud Feign:: Simplifies HTTP client integration.
- Spring Cloud Hystrix::Implements circuit breaker patterns.
- Spring Cloud Sleuth:Offers distributed tracing capabilities.
- Spring Boot:: Simplifies the development of production-ready applications by providing a set of opinionated defaults and auto-configuration.
- Spring Data JPA: Simplifies data access using JPA (Java Persistence API).
- Spring Data Redis: : Offers integration with Redis.
- Spring Data MongoDB: Provides support for MongoDB.
- Spring Data Elasticsearch: Integrates with Elasticsearch.
