== Choosing the Web Flavor
|
|
|
|
Spring Framework now 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, streaming scenarios or if you want to use the web functional
|
|
Kotlin DSL.
|
|
|
|
For other use cases, especially if you are using blocking technologies such as JPA, Spring
|
|
MVC and its annotation-based programming model is the recommended choice.
