A slinky is a precompressed helical spring toy invented by Richard James in the early 1940s. And "Spring" is the framework that this library is built upon.
The (java!) generic classes slinky provides are going to allow developers to create Spring Boot applications at record speed.
Currently, slinky provides GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD and OPTIONS for resource(s)
gathering(s). Right now we only operate in REST but adding RESTful classes to inherit from is on the todo list.
