This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain. It notably homogenizes links to: - IETF RFCs - Java Community Process JSRs - the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version) - Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version) - the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version) This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather than `docs-spring-boot`. Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and `modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.

Boot 2 project on https://start.spring.io/#!language=kotlin&type=gradle-project[start.spring.io].

== Choosing the Web Flavor
|
|
|
|
Spring Framework now comes with two different web stacks: xref:web/webmvc.adoc#mvc[Spring MVC] and
|
|
xref:testing/unit.adoc#mock-objects-web-reactive[Spring WebFlux].
|
|
|
|
Spring WebFlux is recommended if you want to create applications that will deal with latency,
|
|
long-lived connections, streaming scenarios or if you want to use the web functional
|
|
Kotlin DSL.
|
|
|
|
For other use cases, especially if you are using blocking technologies such as JPA, Spring
|
|
MVC and its annotation-based programming model is the recommended choice.
