Overview
Spring Initializr is a REST API that generates a skeleton Spring project structure, allowing you to customize the build system (Maven or Gradle), the project coordinates, the language and version, the packaging and the dependencies to add to the project. The API can be exposed as a service, and the publicly available default instance for the service, run by Pivotal, is available at https://start.spring.io/.
The API can be used standalone or embedded in other tools:
- With a browser by going to http://start.spring.io
- From command-line with curl
- From command-line using Spring Boot CLI
- From IntelliJ IDEA, with IntelliJ IDEA Plugin for Spring Boot
- From Spring Tool Suite
- From NetBeans
All these tools work by invoking into http://start.spring.io and downloading the project ZIP, which is subsequently expanded in the local workspace.
