This Wiki complements the [Spring Framework reference](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/). We use it to explain concepts (vs provide a reference), to maintain documents we want to edit independent of release cadence, or to summarize information across multiple versions.
If you're new to Spring, see the [Overview](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/overview.html#spring-introduction) in the reference for a quick introduction to the Spring Framework, its origins, history, design philosophy, and family of [Spring projects](https://spring.io/projects). Or otherwise use the menu on the left.
