Spring Boot comes with a large number of annotations that are used to configure and customize the behavior of various components. Here is a comprehensive list of annotations in Spring Boot:
@SpringBootApplication: This annotation is used to mark the main class of a Spring Boot application. It combines the functionality of @Configuration, @EnableAutoConfiguration, and @ComponentScan annotations.
@Configuration: It tells Spring that the class contains bean definitions and configuration logic. By annotating a class with @Configuration, Spring treats it as a source of bean definitions, and the methods within the class annotated with @Bean are used to define beans
@ComponentScan: This annotation is used to specify the packages that should be scanned for Spring components such as controllers, services, and repositories.
@EnableAutoConfiguration: This annotation is used to enable automatic configuration of the Spring Boot application based on the classpath and the properties in the application.properties or application.yml file.
@RestController: This annotation is used to mark a class as a controller that handles incoming HTTP requests and returns the response in the form of JSON, XML, or other formats.
@Controller: This annotation is used to mark a class as a controller that handles incoming HTTP requests and returns the response in the form of a view.
@Service: This annotation is used to mark a class as a service that provides business logic to the application.
@Repository: This annotation is used to mark a class as a repository that provides data access to the application.
