Do I need to use Spring Security on the server if I connect an android application?

Question

Java

Good
There is an application for android in google play, it will request data from the server database. On the Spring server, is it necessary to include Spring Security in it, what will it give or what will it protect against?

Answer 1

Spring Security is needed if you plan to implement authorization. If there is no authorization and all the data that the application will request is public, then you do not need it.
