Answer from AI
In the Spring Framework, context initialization (ApplicationContext) is the process of creating and configuring a container that manages the lifecycle of beans (objects), their dependencies, and configuration. During context initialization, Spring reads the configuration (such as XML, Java configuration, or annotations), creates all necessary objects, injects dependencies, and prepares the application for operation.
Example: When starting the application, Spring creates an ApplicationContext that contains all beans, such as services and repositories, and ensures their interaction without the need to manually create objects and connect them with each other.
