+== Aspect-Oriented Programming
+Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for aspect-oriented programming (AOP).
+You can learn more about AOP with Spring in the {spring-framework-docs}/core.html#aop[Spring Framework reference documentation].
+
+By default, Spring Boot's auto-configuration configures Spring AOP to use CGLib proxies.
+To use JDK proxies instead, set `configprop:spring.aop.proxy-target-class` to `false`.
+
+If AspectJ is on the classpath, Spring Boot's auto-configuration will automatically enable AspectJ auto proxy such that `@EnableAspectJAutoProxy` is not required.
