Spring Boot Starter Web as Single Dependency
In this lesson, we’ll look at how the Spring Boot starter web can serve as a single web dependency.
We'll cover the following
The application has a dependency on the library spring-boot-starter-web.
This dependency integrates the Spring framework, the Spring web framework, and an environment for the processing of HTTP requests.
The default for the processing of the HTTP requests is a Tomcat server which runs embedded as part of the application.
Thus, the dependency on
spring-boot-starter-webwould be enough as a sole dependency for the application!
The dependency on spring-boot-starter-test is necessary for tests.
Note: The code for the test is not part of this course.
