Spring REST serves as a practical guide for designing and developing RESTful APIs using the popular Spring
Framework. This book begins with a brief introduction to REST, HTTP, and Web infrastructure. It then
provides detailed coverage of several Spring portfolio projects such as Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data
JPA, and Spring Security. The book walks through the process of designing and building a REST application
while taking a deeper look into design principles and best practices for versioning, security, documentation,
error handling, paging, and sorting. It also discusses techniques for building clients that consume REST
services. Finally, it covers Spring MVC test frameworks for creating unit and integration tests for REST API.
