SpringBootDex

A modern glossary for Spring Boot / Spring annotations.

Daunted by the official Spring/Spring Boot documentation? No doubt they are extensive and the best source of documentation, yet like many others, I found the learning curve still steep due to Spring/Spring Boot's rich history.

Hence the idea to create a (not literally) ELI5 guide/glossary, that serves as as a training guide for newbies, as well as a quick lookup for professionals. Feel free to make suggestions and contribute!

Features

1. Search Engine (courtesy of Just-The-Docs)
2. Tooltips
3. Category Tags
4. Dark mode

Contribution Rules

1. Keep it simple! Keep the languange concise and non-technical where possible.
2. Add internal/external links where possible e.g. @SpringBootApplication links to @Configuration. Internal links enable the tooltip feature (which I hope people find handy)
3. References to external guides are encouraged, with a short write up, but do give credit where its due.
