Spring Framework vs Spring boot
 Spring boot makes it easy for developers to learn it in a quick and easy manner. 
 Notable Features
Auto-configuration 
Stand alone - do not need to deploy to webserver. Just run it with a command.
Opinionated - default settings are opinion of majority.
  Auto-configuration
 Attempts to automatically configures your spring boot application based on the features you have added.
 Auto-configs are contextually aware and smart. Eg. If the application has dependency of a database, it attempts to configure application for the database access.
Setting up auto configuration is easy. Just add @EnableAutoConfiguration annotation.  Think of annotations as extra code, read at run time to make decisions.
Also, the configurations are also easy to disable.
  Stand-alone
According to spring boot project, _" Spring boot makes it easy to create standalone,  production grade spring based applications that you can just run "
 To understand the importance of above statement, we need to understand how normal java applications run namely.
Packaging your application
Downloading the webserver - different choices with different features.
Once decided, download and configure the web server. Depending on the server, can be complex or simple.
Last, deploy the application (Copy to a specific directory) and start web-server.      
 Opinionated view
It is not a bad thing. When building java applications, we have a tons of choices like logging choices, config choices, tooling choices and build tool choices and so on.
If a developer is new, it can be overwhelming. So, springboot favours convention over configuration to get an application up and running as quickly as possible.
Opinionated here means - established standards and popularity.
A developer can overwrite any of the choices anytime.
     spring initializr is a great example of spring boot opinionated set up. You can just give what kind of configurations you need in dependencies and it provides popular choices.
