SpringShopper

This is a continuously evolving E-Commerce Platform built using Java and Spring Boot. The project focuses on creating a robust and scalable online store management system with features like product management, shopping cart functionality, and secure transactions. I'm updating this project daily to add more features and enhancements.

• Form Validation: Comprehensive validation for user input (registration, order forms) using Spring Validator.
• RESTful API: Exposes RESTful endpoints for future expansion (mobile apps, third-party integrations).
