Spring framework, developed by Rod Johnson in 2003, is the most popular application development framework for enterprise Java. Spring helps write high-performing, easily testable, and reusable code and promotes programming best practices by enabling a POJO-based model on top of dependency injection (DI).
The Spring framework is, in fact, a collection of sub-modules. Each module supports a specific kind of functionality that we can enable in our application by importing that module and overriding specific configurations. A few such modules are Spring AOP, Spring Batch or Spring MVC.
