In this blog which is part of the spring boot tutorial, you will get to know the different methods to create the spring boot application.

There are several ways to create a Spring Boot application:

  1. Spring Initializer: This is a web-based tool that allows you to quickly generate a Spring Boot project with the desired dependencies.

  2. Spring CLI: This is a command-line tool that can be used to generate a Spring Boot project with the desired dependencies.

  3. Using an IDE: Many popular IDEs, such as Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, have built-in support for creating Spring Boot projects.

  4. Using a Maven/Gradle Plugin: You can also create a Spring Boot project using Maven or Gradle build tools by adding the Spring Boot plugin to your build file.

  5. Starting from scratch: You can also create a Spring Boot application from scratch by manually adding the necessary dependencies and configuration to an existing project.

the best way to create the spring boot application:-

  1. It depends on your personal preference and the specific requirements of your project. Each of the ways to create a Spring Boot application has its own advantages and disadvantages.

    • Spring Initializer is a web-based tool that is easy to use and allows you to quickly generate a basic Spring Boot project with the desired dependencies.

    • Spring CLI is a command-line tool that is useful if you prefer working with the command line or if you want to automate the creation of Spring Boot projects.

    • Using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA has the advantage of being integrated with the development environment and can save time for the developer.

    • Using a Maven or Gradle Plugin allows you to create a Spring Boot project as a part of your existing build pipeline.

    • Starting from scratch can be useful if you have existing code you want to integrate with a Spring Boot application or if you want fine-grained control over the project structure and dependencies.

      Overall, it's better to choose the option that best suits your needs and experience, and with which you feel comfortable. In my view STS and eclipse is better.

Please install any IDE so that in the next blog, we can code together and understand every line. This way, you will gain an understanding of how code works and the meaning of annotations and etc.
