Spring Framework FAQ: Top Questions

@EnableAutoConfiguration is an annotation used in Spring Boot to enable automatic configuration of the Spring application context based on the dependencies on the classpath.

📘 Behavior:

• Uses spring.factories to discover available auto-config classes.
• Conditionally applies configuration using @Conditional annotations.

📥 Example:

@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApp {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args);
  }
}

🏆 Expected Output:

Spring configures beans like DataSource, Jackson, etc. based on dependencies.

🛠️ Use Cases:

• Simplifies project setup and reduces manual configuration.
• Custom starter creation and modular configuration.
