Simple Package Structure for Spring Boot REST API
What are we building?
Example REST Endpoint - PingPong API
Assumptions:
- You have some models to store and fetch from storage.
- There is some business logic involved before saving an object.
Why even bother with a structure?
- Not over-complicated, but also not everything in one file.
- Easier to navigate.
- Paving the road for future extensions.
What's inside?
- Only three layers.
- At a minimum, only one model conversion - Entity to DTO.
Advantages
- It is elementary to get started.
- Possibility to extend. For example, input validation can be done directly on the DTOs or by introducing Request and Response models at the top layer.
