The video tutorial compares annotations and XML configuration in Java, focusing on ease of use, maintenance, and debugging. Annotations are easier to use and maintain, while XML offers cleaner code but is cumbersome. Annotations are more common in modern projects, but consistency in using either method is crucial. XML is easier to debug due to its verbosity.

Which configuration method is described as being concise and easy to use?

• XML configuration

• Annotations

• Both XML and Annotations

• Neither XML nor Annotations

What is a key advantage of using XML configuration over annotations?

• It is more frequently used in new projects

• It simplifies debugging

• It keeps Java objects free from framework dependencies

• It is easier to write

Why are annotations considered easier to maintain compared to XML configuration?

• They require less code

• They are specified close to the source, making updates easier

• They do not require any syntax

• They are more commonly used

In modern Java projects, which configuration method is more commonly used?

• XML configuration

• Annotations

• Both are equally used

• Neither is used

What is a challenge associated with debugging when using annotations?

• Annotations are too verbose

• Annotations require a deep understanding of the Spring Framework

• Annotations are rarely used

• Annotations are not supported in new projects
