Spring MVC
Spring MVC is a web application framework within the Spring Framework that implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern for building Java-based web applications. It provides a robust structure for handling HTTP requests, managing business logic, and rendering dynamic views, integrating seamlessly with other Spring modules like Spring Boot and Spring Security. The framework simplifies web development by offering features such as data binding, validation, and RESTful web service support.
Developers should learn Spring MVC when building enterprise-grade web applications in Java, as it offers a scalable and maintainable architecture for complex business logic and high-traffic systems. It is particularly useful for applications requiring integration with databases, security layers, and microservices, such as e-commerce platforms, banking systems, or content management tools. Its widespread adoption in the Java ecosystem makes it a valuable skill for roles in backend development and full-stack engineering.
