This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of spring-projects/spring-boot and micronaut-projects/micronaut-core using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-08-26, spring-projects/spring-boot contains 445,883 total lines (244,527 code) across 4,906 files, while micronaut-projects/micronaut-core contains 385,498 total lines (227,509 code) across 2,838 files as of 2026-08-26. spring-projects/spring-boot and micronaut-projects/micronaut-core are similar in size by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. spring-projects/spring-boot was counted at ref main (commit 293c56bf5242) on 2026-08-26; micronaut-projects/micronaut-core was counted at ref 5.2.x (commit 88d07edeb51e) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
As of 2026-08-26, spring-projects/spring-boot and micronaut-projects/micronaut-core are close in size: 244,527 vs 227,509 code lines, a difference of less than 15%. Neither clearly outsizes the other by this metric.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for spring-projects/spring-boot, micronaut-projects/micronaut-core, or any repository.
