REST API Using Spring and Hibernate

In this guide I will show how to set up a Spring and Hibernate project to implement a REST API. Comparing this guide to Spring and Hibernate From Scratch, you will see that the process is very similar, except that we no longer need to worry about views when we create a RESTful web service.

Before you start, please set up your development environment as described here.

1. Maven Web Application

2. Spring Framework

3. MySQL and Hibernate

4. Security with JWT
