Overview of this book

Spring MVC is the ideal tool to build modern web applications on the server side. With the arrival of Spring Boot, developers can really focus on the code and deliver great value, leveraging the rich Spring ecosystem with minimal configuration. Spring makes it simple to create RESTful applications, interact with social services, communicate with modern databases, secure your system, and make your code modular and easy to test. It is also easy to deploy the result on different cloud providers. This book starts all the necessary topics in starting a Spring MVC-based application. Moving ahead it explains how to design model objects to handle file objects. save files into a data store and how Spring MVC behaves when an application deals with uploading and downloading files.

Most of the libraries needed in the implementation are JavaScript-based. These scripts can be downloaded or can be directly utilized through HTTP from the vendor's repositories.

AJAX

AJAX libraries, for instance, are composed of open-source components like HTML, CSS, DOM and JavaScript, which are all accessible in all types of browsers. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a technique that allows parts, or all of a web page to be updated asynchronously in the background, during data exchange to the server. With the AJAX engine, the pages still undergo typical servlet request responses, while AJAX transactions do their job simultaneously, without getting the server's attention.

All types of AJAX libraries need Jackson JSON libraries for JSON pre-processing, so POM must include all these dependencies in the project repository.

jQuery

jQuery is a JavaScript platform that has libraries for extensive CSS and AJAX features. It is a lightweight set of JavaScript libraries...
