spring-framework

Spring Framework is the foundational framework for all Spring projects. It provides everything required beyond the Java programming language itself for creating enterprise applications across a wide range of scenarios and architectures. The framework serves as the core infrastructure upon which the wider family of Spring projects (such as Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data, etc.) are built. Together, the Spring Framework and its ecosystem are commonly referred to simply as "Spring". Documentation is available through multiple channels: official reference documentation published at docs.spring.io, source documentation within the repository, a GitHub wiki, an API reference, and a collection of guides and tutorials on spring.io. The project follows a standard open-source contribution model with a code of conduct, a CONTRIBUTING.md file, and build-from-source instructions documented on the wiki. Continuous integration is handled via GitHub Actions workflows. Binaries and distribution zips can be accessed through the project's wiki. Spring Framework is released under the Apache License 2.0.
