• Spring Data MongoDB
• Jsoup (for web scraping)
• MongoDB Atlas
• Maven

Requirements

• JDK 11 or higher
• Maven 3.6.0 or higher
• MongoDB Atlas account

Setup

   cd Springboot-MongoDB-Webscraper-hoopsDB

2. Install the required Maven packages.

   mvn clean install

3. Set up MongoDB Atlas.

   • Create a MongoDB Atlas account and set up a cluster.
