Spring Boot Full Stack development refers to the creation of web applications using Spring Boot for the back-end and a complementary set of technologies for the front-end. Spring Boot is a popular Java-based framework known for its ability to simplify the bootstrapping and development of new Spring applications. Its primary goal is to ease the development, deployment, and maintenance of Spring-based applications.

Key Components of Spring Boot Full Stack Development

Back-End Development with Spring Boot

1. Spring Boot: Rapid application development framework that simplifies the configuration and setup of Spring applications.
2. Spring Framework: Core framework providing the fundamental functionalities of Spring, including dependency injection and aspect-oriented programming.
3. Spring Data JPA: For database access, simplifying the data access layer with support for data repositories.
4. Spring Security: For authentication and authorization in the application.
5. RESTful Services: Building RESTful web services using Spring MVC.
6. Spring Boot Actuator: For monitoring and managing applications.
7. Database Integration: Using databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or NoSQL databases like MongoDB.
8. Testing: Using Spring’s testing support with JUnit and Mockito for unit and integration testing.

Front-End Development

1. HTML/CSS/JavaScript: Basic technologies for building web interfaces.
2. Front-End Frameworks: Angular, React, or Vue.js, depending on project requirements and team expertise.
3. Responsive Web Design: Using frameworks like Bootstrap for mobile-friendly designs.
4. TypeScript: Often used with Angular for typed JavaScript code.
5. Build Tools: Tools like Webpack, Gulp, or Grunt for asset compilation and bundling.

Full Stack Integration

1. API Development: Creating RESTful APIs with Spring Boot for the front-end to consume.
2. Client-Server Communication: Handling AJAX requests, JSON data format, and understanding the HTTP protocol.
