SpringSide is a pragmatic, Spring Framework-based reference architecture for JavaEE applications, demonstrating mainstream technology choices and best practices. It includes a utility library, a Spring Boot-based Web Service application (BootApi), a planned BootWeb CRUD app, and showcase examples built around a P2P library scenario.

Use cases

• learn Spring Boot best practices from working examples
• bootstrap a JavaEE web service application with Spring
• reference architecture for Java backend projects
• explore a curated Java utility library
• see how to structure a Spring-based REST API
• study typical CRUD web application patterns in Java

When to choose

• you are starting a Spring or Spring Boot based Java backend and want proven conventions
• you want example-driven learning of JavaEE best practices
• you need a solid utility library distilled from common Java libraries

When to avoid

• you need a actively maintained framework with recent updates and support
• your stack is not JVM/Java based
• you want a production framework rather than a reference example project
