In Java development, a Spring Bean and a Java Object are related concepts and they have somewhat different purposes. The biggest difference is, that Spring Beans can only be used in the context of the Spring Framework.

Java Object: In the Java programming language, an object is an instance of a class. It represents a specific entity with its own set of properties (variables) and behaviors (methods).

Spring Bean: In the context of Spring, a bean is an object that is managed by the Spring IoC (Inversion of Control) container. The Spring framework is responsible for creating, initializing, and managing the lifecycle of beans. Beans are typically Java objects that are configured and managed by Spring.
