Spring Framework

The Spring Framework is the foundation of the entire Spring family of projects, available for download at spring.io/projects. This includes a wide range of different projects, all of which are collectively referred to as “Spring”. With this single framework, developers can access a vast array of tools, libraries, and components for building modern, feature-rich applications. The Spring Framework is designed to be highly extensible and customizable, making it an ideal choice for developing complex applications.

Algorithms

Open-source resources are available to help learn data structures and algorithms, and how to implement them in Java. These implementations are intended for educational purposes and may be less efficient than the Java standard library. While there are many tools available to help you learn and stay up to date with the latest developments in the Java language, these resources can often be difficult to find.
