Spring WebFlux is a part of the Spring Framework that provides reactive programming support for web applications. It introduces reactive types like Mono and Flux publishers which are fundamental to Its programming model. Mono and Flux play a crucial role in reactive programming.

Spring WebFlux is a reactive web framework in the Spring ecosystem designed to handle asynchronous, non-blocking requests using the reactive programming model. It supports reactive streams, enabling efficient processing of high-concurrency tasks, such as I/O operations. WebFlux is ideal for building scalable, real-time applications, as it uses project reactors like Mono and Flux to handle data streams. Unlike the traditional Spring MVC, WebFlux does not rely on blocking calls, making it more suitable for microservices and applications where performance and scalability are critical. It supports both annotated controllers and functional routing for flexibility in application design.
