What is Spring IoC container ?

The Spring container is at the core of the Spring Framework.
The container will create the objects, wire them together, configure them, and manage
their complete life cycle from creation till destruction.
The Spring container uses DI to manage the components that make up an application.

The main tasks performed by IoC container are:

1. to instantiate the application class
2. to configure the object
3. to assemble the dependencies between the objects

There are two types of IoC containers. They are:

1. BeanFactory
2. ApplicationContext
