An official Spring getting-started guide that walks developers through building a simple 'Hello, World' RESTful web service with Spring Boot. It includes complete and initial project code for Gradle and Maven, demonstrating @RestController, JSON responses, and query parameters.
Use cases
- learn how to create a RESTful web service with Spring
- build a hello world REST API in Spring Boot
- return JSON from a Spring Boot endpoint
- get started with Spring Boot web development
- example of handling query parameters in a Spring controller
- starter project for a Spring Boot REST service
When to choose
- you are new to Spring or Spring Boot and want a guided tutorial
- you need a minimal working example of a Spring REST endpoint
- you want official, maintained sample code to scaffold a first Spring Boot web service
When to avoid
- you need production-ready REST service architecture beyond a hello-world example
- you are looking for a framework or library to add as a dependency rather than a tutorial
- you work outside the JVM/Spring ecosystem
