Book Social Network (BSN) is a full-stack social network application for exchanging and borrowing books among members. It combines a Spring Boot 3 / Spring Security 6 backend with JWT authentication and an Angular frontend with Bootstrap styling.

Use cases

• build a social network for exchanging books
• learn Spring Boot 3 and Spring Security with JWT authentication
• practice full-stack development with Angular and Spring Boot
• implement book borrowing and return workflows with availability checks
• set up email-based account activation and validation
• document REST APIs with OpenAPI and Swagger UI
• containerize a full-stack app with Docker and CI/CD with GitHub Actions
• study a monorepo setup for backend and frontend

When to choose

• you want a reference full-stack project combining Spring Boot and Angular
• you are learning JWT-based authentication and Spring Security 6
• you need a working example of REST API best practices, validation, and pagination
• you want a template for Dockerized deployment with GitHub Actions pipelines

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade book exchange platform with payments or shipping integration
• you require a different frontend stack than Angular
• you need high scalability or multi-tenancy beyond a learning-oriented design
