Spring MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a module of the Spring Framework, designed to provide a clean and robust architecture for developing web applications. Leveraging the power of Spring Core, Spring MVC is highly flexible and widely used in enterprise applications. In this blog, we’ll explore its architecture, features, and how to get started with a basic Spring MVC application.
What is Spring MVC?
Spring MVC is a framework for building web applications using the Model-View-Controller design pattern. It facilitates separation of concerns by dividing an application into three interconnected components:
- Model: Represents the application’s data and business logic.
- View: Handles the presentation layer (UI).
- Controller: Manages user input and coordinates between the Model and the View.
Key Features of Spring MVC
- Loose Coupling: Decouples components, ensuring flexibility and maintainability.
- Annotation-based Configuration: Simplifies development using annotations like
@Controller,@RequestMapping, etc. - Integration with Spring Ecosystem: Seamlessly integrates with other Spring modules like Spring Security and Spring Data.
