Spring Framework is a Java application framework that creates the objects of an application and supplies each object with the other objects it depends on, a technique called dependency injection (DI). Rod Johnson developed it in 2003, and it is the most popular application development framework for enterprise Java. Spring helps write high-performing, testable and reusable code with a POJO-based model on top of dependency injection.
Spring Framework is a collection of sub-modules. Each module supports one kind of functionality, and we enable it in an application by importing the module and overriding its configuration. A few such modules are Spring AOP, Spring Batch and Spring MVC.
