Spring boot --Advantages
Spring boot provide a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (e.g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration).

Advantages

Spring Boot offers the following advantages to its developers −

    Easy to understand and develop spring applications
    Increases productivity
    Reduces the development time
    Less configuration
    No need to take care about versions of supporting jars .



More Advantages of spring boot application

•         Create stand-alone Spring applications
•         Embed Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow directly (no need to deploy WAR files)
•         Provide opinionated 'starter' POMs to simplify your Maven configuration
•         Automatically configure Spring whenever possible
•         Provide production-ready features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration
•         Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration
•         No need of creating boilerplate configuration
•         Plenty of SpringBoot Starter to quickly get up and running
•         DevTools to autorestart server on code/config updates
•         Easier customization of application properties
•         Easy management of profile specific properties
•         Easier dependency management using platform-bom
•         Embedded tomcat discard the web.xml configuration;
•         spring-boot security discard the applicationcontext-security.xml configuration;
•         spring-boot webservice discard the applicationcontext-ws.xml configuration;
•         spring-boot mvc discard the applicationcontext.xml configuration;
•      spring-boot datasource(both Relational Database and nosql Database) discard the applicationcontext.xml configuration,even if more than one datasource.
•         Provide a radically faster and widely accessible getting started experience for all Spring development.
  
  Spring Boot is designed to achieved following goals
  
      To reduce complex XML configuration in Spring
      To develop a production ready Spring applications in an easier way
      To reduce the development time and run the application
      Spring Boot develop a web based application as easy to create stand-alone.
