Spring
Spring is an application framework for the Java platform. It helps you build modern web applications with support for microservice architectures, cloud systems, reactive processing, and serverless workloads.
IntelliJ IDEA provides extensive coding assistance for Spring, including a dedicated project wizard, code highlighting, intelligent context actions, embedded documentation, navigation, and highly customizable run configurations. For a detailed description of the supported features, refer to IntelliJ IDEA for Spring Developers.
