Example Java apps are a great way to start building with Contentful. They show how to start a project based on example spaces.

### The Java example app

The Java example app teaches the very basics of how to work with Contentful:

* consume content from the Contentful Delivery and Preview APIs
* model content
* edit content through the Contentful web app

The app demonstrates how decoupling content from its presentation enables greater flexibility and facilitates shipping higher quality software more quickly.
