Recently. while working on a requirement, there came a need to upload a file for further processing. Mostly in REST APIs, we are accustomed to using JSON input and output while it is XML for SOAP web services.
This leads us to research how to satisfy the requirement. In Spring, and mainly in Spring Boot, the auto-configuration feature gives us big-time help even though sometimes we have to disable some features to add custom once or to change the order they are sorted in.
