Spring Boot @SpringBootApplication Guide
In Spring Boot, the @SpringBootApplication annotation is used to indicate a class as the entry point of a Spring Boot application. This annotation is a combination of @Configuration, @EnableAutoConfiguration, and @ComponentScan annotations.
The example code is provided below:
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyApplication.class, args);
}
}
In the example above, the @SpringBootApplication annotation identifies the MyApplication class as the entry point of the Spring Boot application. It calls the SpringApplication.run method in the main method to start the Spring Boot application. The @SpringBootApplication annotation automatically scans components, loads configurations, and enables auto-configuration, simplifying the development of Spring Boot applications.
