Starters are an arrangement of advantageous reliance descriptors that you can incorporate into your application.

rapidly and with a steady, supported a set of managed transitive conditions.

The starter POMs are helpful reliance descriptors that can be added to your application’s Maven. In another
word, if you are building up a project that utilizes Spring Batch for batch preparing, you need to incorporate
spring-boot-starter-bunch that will import all the required conditions for the Spring Batch application. This
decreases the burden of looking at and designing all of the conditions required for a structure.
