Spring framework architecture

Spring is a modular framework. This brings great flexibility to choosing the modules that you need instead of bringing all of them together in your code. Spring comprises around 20 modules that are logically grouped into the following layers:

  • Core container layer
  • Data access/integration layer
  • Web layer
  • Test layer
  • Miscellaneous layer
