Cook Book Spring App

A Java Spring Boot REST API exchanging data using the JSON format.
This application allows users to browse and create cooking recipes.

The persistence layer is managed by Spring Data JPA and Hibernate.
The JSON serialization/deserialization is handled by Jackson.

The application security is managed by Spring Security using a JWT-based authentication process.
