Part I. Overview of Spring Framework
The Spring Framework is a lightweight solution and a potential one-stop-shop for building your enterprise-ready applications. However, Spring is modular, allowing you to use only those parts that you need, without having to bring in the rest. You can use the IoC container, with any web framework on top, but you can also use only theHibernate integration code or the JDBC abstraction layer. The Spring Framework supports declarative transaction management, remote access to your logic through RMI or web services, and various options for persisting your data. It offers a full-featured MVC framework, and enables you to integrate AOP transparently into your software.
Spring框架是一个轻量级的解决方案，对于构建一个企业级应用来说，Spring框架也是一种可能的一站式服务。Spring是模块化的，允许你仅使用你需要的那部分功能，而不必引入其它的部分。你可以在任何web框架上使用IoC容器，也可以只使用Hibernate集成代码或JDBC抽象层。Spring框架支持声明式的业务管理，支持通过RMI或web service来远程访问你的逻辑，并且支持多种持久化数据的方式。Spring提供了一个包含所有功能的MVC框架，使你能将AOP透明的集成到软件中。
Spring is designed to be non-intrusive, meaning that your domain logic code generally has no dependencies on the framework itself. In your integration layer (such as the data access layer), some dependencies on the data access technology and the Spring libraries will exist. However, it should be easy to isolate these dependencies from the rest of your code base.
Spring被设计为非侵入式的，这意味着你自己的逻辑代码通常情况下不依赖于框架本身。在你的集成层（例如数据访问层），将会存在一些数据访问技术的依赖和Spring的库。不管怎样，从你其余的代码中分离这些依赖应该是很容易的。
This document is a reference guide to Spring Framework features. If you have any requests, comments, or questions on this document, please post them on the user mailing list. Questions on the Framework itself should be asked on StackOverflow (see https://spring.io/questions).

1.Getting Started with Spring
This reference guide provides detailed information about the Spring Framework. It provides comprehensive documentation for all features, as well as some background about the underlying concepts (such as “Dependency Injection”) that Spring has embraced.
这本参考手册提供了关于Spring框架的详细信息，它提供了关于所有功能的全面文档，也介绍了Spring中的基本概念（例如依赖注入）的一些背景。
If you are just getting started with Spring, you may want to begin using the Spring Framework by creating a Spring Boot based application. Spring Boot provides a quick (and opinionated) way to create a production-ready Spring based application. It is based on the Spring Framework, favors convention over configuration, and is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
如果你刚开始学习Spring，你可能想创建一个基于Spring Boot的应用，Spring Boot提供了一个快速（和武断的）方式来创建一个用于生产环境的基于Spring的应用。它是基于Spring框架的，支持约定大于配置，被设计为可以快速启动并且尽可能快的运行起来。
You can use start.spring.io to generate a basic project or follow one of the “Getting Started” guides like the Getting Started Building a RESTful Web Service one. As well as being easier to digest, these guides are very task focused, and most of them are based on Spring Boot. They also cover other projects from the Spring portfolio that you might want to consider when solving a particular problem.
你可以用start.spring.io 来生产一个基本的工程或遵循『Getting Started』指南中的一个，例如『Started Building a RESTful Web Service』指南。除了容易理解吸收之外，这些指南主要是基于任务的，它们中的大多数是基于Spring Boot的。它们也包含了Spring的其它工程，当解决一个特定问题时你可能会考虑它们。
