ApplicationContext

An ApplicationContext is a central part of a software framework, particularly in Java's Spring framework. Think of it as a well-organized system that manages the components of an application. It helps by loading configuration settings, creating objects, and handling their lifecycle, allowing different parts of the application to communicate and work together seamlessly. Essentially, it simplifies the development process by providing essential services, like dependency injection, so developers can focus more on building features rather than managing technical details.
