= Getting Started

The easiest way to learn how to build a Spring application with Kotlin is to follow
{spring-site-guides}/tutorials/spring-boot-kotlin/[the dedicated tutorial].

== `start.spring.io`

The easiest way to start a new Spring Framework project in Kotlin is to create a new Spring
Boot project on https://start.spring.io/#!language=kotlin&type=gradle-project-kotlin[start.spring.io].

== Choosing the Web Flavor

Spring Framework comes with two different web stacks: xref:web/webmvc.adoc#mvc[Spring MVC] and
xref:testing/unit.adoc#mock-objects-web-reactive[Spring WebFlux].

Spring WebFlux is recommended if you want to create applications that will deal with latency,
long-lived connections or streaming scenarios.

For other use cases, especially if you are using blocking technologies such as JPA, Spring
MVC is the recommended choice.

Extract recurring asciidoc links to attributes, cleanup old doc files This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain. It notably homogenizes links to: - IETF RFCs - Java Community Process JSRs - the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version) - Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version) - the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version) This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather than `docs-spring-boot`. Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and `modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.
