Spring Data REST is a Spring Data project that exposes repository-backed data through RESTful resources.
- How it is used
- Exposes repository-backed entities through HTTP for database interaction, persistence, and controlled resource access.
- How deep it goes
- Builds a configured Spring Boot application and demonstrates repository, method, field, ETag, event, projection, and excerpt controls.
- Examples
- Uses a MySQL-backed User entity, UserRepository, /users requests, access annotations, and a CSV-loaded auction dataset.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch with Spring Boot, configure persistence, expose repositories, and restrict exported operations and fields.

Spring Data REST is a Spring Data project that automatically exposes repository operations through REST APIs.
- How it is used
- Automatically exposes Spring Data repository operations through REST endpoints for application data.
- How deep it goes
- Demonstrates dependency-only setup, generated endpoints, HATEOAS links, and curl requests.
- Examples
- Uses Taco Cloud resources, including ingredients, tacos, orders, users, and curl requests for ingredient endpoints.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via the Spring Data REST starter to expose repository-backed endpoints and inspect them with curl.
