Milline on erinevus Spring Booti kasutamise ja standardse Booti vahel rakenduste arendamisel?

Spring Boot is a framework built on top of Spring Framework that significantly simplifies application development through automatic configuration, an embedded web server, and ready-made templates for common tasks.

Unlike standard Spring (probably referring to the classic Spring Framework in the question), where the developer manually configures many components and settings, Spring Boot offers:

• Automatic configuration based on project dependencies.
• An embedded application server (e.g., Tomcat), allowing the application to run as a standalone jar.
• Starters: dependency sets for quickly connecting necessary libraries.
• Minimal or no XML configurations, everything based on annotations.

Example of a simple Spring Boot application:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Thus, Spring Boot accelerates development, reduces boilerplate code, and simplifies application deployment and launch.
