Setting up LangChain4j and Spring AI
We will take a look at setting up the Spring AI and LangChain4j projects using the spring initializr website (https://start.spring.io/).
We will look at each of these technologies independently. LangChain4j and Spring AI are both options to perform the same tasks. We need only one of these frameworks to build GenAI projects. LangChain4j has been available for a bit longer than Spring AI. Both of them work pretty similarly in terms of the API and integrations. We will build the same application with both frameworks and see how similar they are. We will also identify the differences.
The following are the steps we need to follow to create the starter projects:
- Setting up the LangChain4j project:
- Go to the website, https://start.spring.io/.
- Select Maven under the Project section.
- Select Java under the Language section.
- In the Project Metadata section, fill in the following values:
