Spring Boot under the hood
summary
Shows how Spring Boot wires auto‑configuration through META-INF/spring.factories and generalized conditional checks like @Conditional to load configs only when classes/properties are present. Builds a custom starter that auto‑configures an XStream instance, auto‑registers converters into the shared Spring context, and demonstrates overriding the default serializer to produce JSON instead of XML. Uses the Actuator for health endpoints; the demo runs end‑to‑end and the override behavior works as expected.
