spring-boot-starter-aop

The spring-boot-starter-aop is a starter module in the Spring Boot framework that provides support for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). AOP is a programming paradigm that enables the separation of cross-cutting concerns from the main business logic of an application.

The spring-boot-starter-aop module includes the necessary dependencies and configurations to use AOP in a Spring Boot application. It uses the Spring AOP module, which is based on the AspectJ framework, to apply aspects to the application's components.

Some of the features provided by the spring-boot-starter-aop module include:

- Support for declarative transaction management using the @Transactional annotation
- Support for method-level security using the @Secured annotation
- Support for caching using the @Cacheable and @CacheEvict annotations
- Support for logging using the @Log annotation
- Support for performance monitoring using the @Timed annotation

Overall, the spring-boot-starter-aop module simplifies the configuration and usage of AOP in a Spring Boot application, making it easier to separate cross-cutting concerns and improve the overall architecture of the application.
