Why are Spring Boot starters needed if we can write everything in Spring?

Spring Boot is used to simplify and accelerate the development of applications based on Spring. The main reasons for using Spring Boot starters:

• Automatic configuration — Spring Boot analyzes dependencies and automatically configures the application, eliminating the need to write a lot of configuration code.

• Simplified dependency management — starters provide sets of dependencies that are guaranteed to be compatible with each other.

• Quick project startup — you can quickly create a working application with minimal setup.

• Built-in application server — allows running the application as a standalone jar without the need to deploy on an external server.

Without Spring Boot, a developer would have to manually configure many aspects of a Spring application, which increases time and the likelihood of errors. Spring Boot standardizes and simplifies these processes.
